Forgiving Hearts: Following God’s Forgiveness
Verse Of The Day:
"For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." (Matthew 6:14-15)
Imagine carrying a heavy backpack full of rocks everywhere you go—it weighs you down, makes every step harder, and takes away your energy. That’s what holding onto anger feels like. It builds up inside, making our hearts heavy and tired. But forgiveness is like taking off that backpack, feeling the weight lift, and finally being able to move freely and joyfully. Matthew 6:14-15 reminds us that when we choose to forgive others, we reflect the forgiveness God so lovingly gives to us.
Forgiveness isn’t always easy—it can feel hard when someone has hurt us. But God promises to help us let go of anger and replace it with His peace. When we forgive, we don’t just set others free from our resentment; we also free ourselves to experience God’s love more fully. Forgiving opens our hearts to His healing, making space for kindness, joy, and unity.
Let’s practice having forgiving hearts, trusting God to guide us when it’s difficult. By forgiving others, we reflect His grace and show the world the power of His love to heal and restore. Together, let’s make forgiveness a habit, spreading peace wherever we go!
Forgiveness Rocks Craft:
Find or draw small rocks and write words like “Forgiveness” and “Grace.” Decorate the rocks to remind yourself to let go of anger and choose 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 hurt us. Teach us to follow Your example every day. Amen.
Keep forgiving with grace, Faith Force Forgiving Hearts! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that forgiving others reflects God’s love in your life. Let’s choose forgiveness every day.
