Dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The auspicious life giving word of the Lord, for today is from the book of Hebrews 8:12, “ For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins ]and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
Our God is very good. He is a God who forgives the wickedness, iniquities, and sins we commit every day. Today, the Lord is saying, ‘I will forgive your wickedness’. You may not be able to forgive the little mistakes of your own family members. If you do not forgive, how can you expect God to forgive you? The Lord says, forgive, and you will be forgiven. None of us are saints. We are living in a fallen world of sin. We fall in sin knowingly or unknowingly. But God forgives all those sins every day. He is forgiving the evil you do to others, the breach of trust to friends and family. The Lord is watching all this. If God must punish for the sins, we commit every day, none of us will be alive on this earth. He is the God who forgives. He forgives you. If the Lord forgives you, as you expect to be forgiven, isn’t it right for God to expect us to forgive others as well?
So, today, forgive others and accept them. Whether it is your husband or wife, children, or parents. It does not matter. God forgives wickedness. Likewise you must also forgive others wickedness. During the days when Jesus was in this world, He forgave all those who were the reason for his death. Therefore, the Lord is expecting the experience of forgiving. The Lord is saying, ‘ I will forgive your past and give you a new life’. Next He says, I will remember their wickedness and sins no more. God is saying that He has removed your sins and thrown away behind his back. It means, if you say that you forgave the sins of others, yet if you have bitterness in your heart, it means you have not forgiven them. So, what must you do? You must throw all those wickedness out of your heart and live without bitterness towards others. Then, your bitter life will become sweet. If the Lord forgives you, He will give you a new life in the next moment. The Lord will give you every good and perfect gift and will establish you on this earth. When you forgive others, the Lord will give many blessings to you, your family, and children. He will unite families that are separated. There will be blessings in your work, in business. The Lord will give you the blessing of a child and will honour you. You shall receive both material and spiritual blessings.
Prayer: Loving Lord, we thank you! Lord, you have told, your children, that You will forgive their wickedness. Likewise, all those who have done wicked or evil works against your children, or who dragged them to sin, forgive them too. I thank you for helping them receive the blessings the Lord gives. Lord, through forgiveness, give your children every good and perfect gift and establish them on this earth. Perform wonders and miracles in their lives.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen!
