Have You Forgiven? by Nancy Leigh DeMoss 11/24

Published November 24, 2011 | By womenofchristianity

Nancy Leigh DeMoss: Does the thought of some particular person cause you to react emotionally?

“I’ve forgiven her . . . all right?! Give me a break!”

Nancy: How can you know that you’ve truly forgiven someone who has hurt you? When you think of them, what’s the attitude of your heart? Do you feel:

  • An emotional churning?
  • A desire for revenge?
  • Is it hard to ask God to bless them?
  • Is it hard to see any of their good qualities?
  • Do you wish everyone knew their bad qualities?

If any of these are true, it’s likely that you haven’t really forgiven. The Bible tells us to “be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.” Would you release your offender to God? Would you choose to forgive?

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy Leigh DeMoss.

Verse of the Day

[Glory in the Highest] Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. — Luke 2:8-11 (NKJV)
