Daily Thoughts 8-17-2017 Matthew 18:34-35

"Then in anger his master handed him over to the torturers until he should pay back the whole debt. So will my heavenly Father do to you, unless each of you forgives his brother from his heart." ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18:34-35‬

What motives you?  In these versus Jesus tells us what will happen if we don't forgive.  Jesus shares His love and compassion with us and we feel His presence and forgiveness.  Then what do we do with it?  Do we share the same love with those that have offended us or do we condemn them and are unwilling to forgive because our pain is too great.  This happens all too often within families, they will not forgive each other and carry this burden to their grave.  Read the verses again, God's word is TRUTH, He is obligated to follow His word for He is word.  

You make the first move and forgive, heal your pain by forgiving those that have hurt you.   Go and speak to them, forgive them and let it go and watch your heart heal.  God forgave you - why are you waiting, eternity is a long time.  You have read this and can no longer plead ignorance.  FOREVER

Dear Lord God, I love the guidance of Your Holy Spirit, I enjoy Your comfort and solace.  I love You and my only desire is to please You.  Please forgive my prideful ways, teach me this day to be a better husband, a better father, a better brother, a better co-worker, a better man, a better stranger.  You are Holy and deserving of all of our love, remove the burdens of un-forgiveness and heal families and friends.   

Mary, Immaculate Mother, pray for us.
