LET
GO!
There is a saying that goes thus “To err is human to
forgive is divine”. To let go is to stop holding something. All beings commit
sins and make mistake. No one is perfect save our GOD. We are all walking
towards that, JESUS enjoined us in Matthew
5 vs. 48: Be ye therefore perfect even as your Father which is in heaven is
perfect. GOD forgives us, He is a merciful GOD. He is longsuffering. Forgiveness
is divine. Men find it difficult many a time to forgive their fellow being.
Mistakes and offences are inevitable you have to cultivate the habit of
forgiving easily. Many like holding grudges; many have no heart to forgive.
Many have no heart to show mercy. Many believe they are not in position to let
go when offended physically or emotionally. There is possibility you might not
forget when someone hurts you, but letting go and forgiving helps you move on.
If GOD can be merciful unto us, despite our debts of sin; he didn’t condemn us;
yet he still sent his only begotten son JESUS CHRIST to die for us, then we
should forgive those that offend us. His love for us is immeasurable. Romans 5 vs. 8: But GOD commendeth his love
toward us, in that while we were yet sinners CHRIST died for us.
Forgiveness is exhibiting love. A man that has GOD’s love will find it easy to
forgive those who offend him. GOD’s love for us made it easy and possible to
forgive us. I observe little children forgive easily. Little children might
quarrel with each other now and in an hours’ time they start playing together
again. It is we adults that hold grudges and keep malice. No wonder JESUS said
in Matthew 18 vs. 3: And said, verily I
say unto you, except ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall
not enter into the kingdom of heaven. An unforgiving heart will be adamant
and can’t receive anything from GOD. If GOD is an unmerciful GOD and
unforgiving GOD no man will stand till date. The Psalmist says in Psalm 130 vs. 3: If thou mark iniquities, O
LORD, who shall stand? But GOD in his mercies forgives us easily. Unforgiving
is the work of the flesh, a man of the spirit will let go and forgive easily. Matthew 6 vs. 14-15: For if ye forgive men
their trespasses, your heavenly father will also forgive you; but if ye forgive
not men their trespasses, neither will your father forgive your trespasses.
Let go of that grudge, it will only be a burden to you and will cause
hindrances to your prayer. It might hurt you when you are offended; but you
hurt yourself more when you do not forgive. It continues tomorrow. Kindly, share
with others. It is well with us…
