Forgiving Freely: Keeping Our Hearts Open to Go
Verse Of The Day:
"And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins." (Mark 11:25)
Imagine trying to fill a cup with fresh water, but there’s a lid on top blocking it. That’s what happens when we hold onto anger or unforgiveness—it stops our hearts from fully receiving God’s blessings. Mark 11:25 reminds us that when we come to God in prayer, we must let go of any grudges or bitterness, so that He can pour His love and forgiveness into our lives.
Forgiving others doesn’t mean saying what they did was okay, but it does mean choosing to release the hurt and trust God to heal our hearts. Just as He forgives us completely, He calls us to forgive others, making room for His peace and joy. When we forgive, we reflect God’s grace and open the door to deeper connection with Him.
Let’s practice forgiveness daily, freeing our hearts from the weight of anger and filling them with God’s love. By doing this, we grow closer to Him and shine His light to those around us.
Forgiveness Hands Craft:
Trace and cut out hand shapes on paper. On one hand, write “God Forgives Me,” and on the other, write “I Forgive Others.” Decorate them with words like “Peace,” “Love,” and “Healing,” and display them as a reminder of the power of forgiveness.
Time For A Prayer:
Dear God, thank You for forgiving us and teaching us to forgive others. Help us to let go of anger and show grace to those who have hurt us. Fill our hearts with peace so that we can pray with open hearts and receive Your love fully. Amen.
Keep choosing forgiveness, Faith Force Forgiveness Warriors! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that letting go of hurt allows God’s love to flow freely in your heart. Let’s live in the power of His grace every day!
