“forgive”<br />
DAY 14<br />
Mark 11:25-26 NKJV<br />
“And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything<br />
against anyone forgive him, that your Father in heaven<br />
may also forgive you your trespasses. But if you don’t<br />
forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your<br />
trespasses."<br />
Jesus died on the cross for our sins, and yet Jesus still<br />
forgave. In fact, Jesus said, “Forgive them God for they<br />
know not what they’re doing” (Luke 23:34). While you may<br />
be faced with challenges, offended by others, hurt by<br />
others, God forgives us and empowers us to forgive<br />
others. Jesus regularly mentions the importance of<br />
forgiveness through stories in the bible, called parables.<br />
Remember the story of the Prodigal Son who misused his<br />
inheritance and came back crawling to his father. <strong>The</strong> is<br />
an example of forgiveness but also his brother’s struggle<br />
to accept that forgiveness.<br />
1. Reflect on anyone who has hurt you, offended you,<br />
abandoned you, made you angry, etc.?<br />
