Good Morning.  Here’s Today’s Nugget to chew on:

“Choose 2 Forgive”

Matthew 18:21-22 New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB1995)

21 Then Peter came and said to Him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to seven times?”

22 Jesus *said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven (490x).

Further Thought: Today’s passage reminds us that we have been called to a higher standard, and that standard is love.  Love always forgives.  Depending on what you are facing, some acts of forgiveness may take longer than others. If you find yourself unable to forgive your fellow man, seek the assistance of the Holy Spirit who lives in you.  Remember, the Holy Spirit put the love of God in your heart, according to Romans 5:5, and he will show you how to activate that love even in the most challenging situations.  Galatians 5:6 reminds us that the proof of our faith is our love for one another, and it also shows our love for God. Without love, both our faith and our prayer lives are limited.

Today’s Confession of Faith: Father, I recognize that unforgiveness limits what I can do and, most importantly, what you can do through and for me. I am reminded that the faith you’ve given me can only work with love. So, right now, I choose to forgive ____ anyone I’m holding an offense against, and I also choose to live and maintain a lifestyle of forgiveness from this day forward.  Thank you for reminding me of the importance of walking in love no matter what has been done to me. This is my confession of faith.  In Jesus Name.  Amen

Have a great day, and keep chewing on God’s Word.
