• “They only did what God permitted them to do, which enabled me always to keep God in sight… When we suffer, we should always remember that God inflicts the blow. Wicked men, it is true, are not infrequently His instruments; and the fact does not diminish, but simply develops their wickedness. But when we are so mentally disposed that we love the strokes we suffer, regarding them as coming from God, and as expressions of what He sees best for us, we are then in the proper state to look forgivingly and kindly upon the subordinate instrument which He permits to smite us.” – Madame Guyon

Rich in Mercy by Nancy Leigh DeMoss 10/18/11

(voices arguing)

“I don’t like to even think about those arguments right before the divorce . . . it’s behind me.”

Nancy Leigh DeMoss: Are you willing to forgive . . . everybody?

“There’s no way I could forgive the things he said.”

Nancy: Sometimes forgiveness seems impossible—until we realize what the Bible says about God’s forgiveness.

“God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions.”

Nancy: Thinking about how much God’s forgiven us will change the way we view other people’s sin.

“I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins.”

Nancy: Spend some time thinking about how much your sin has offended God and the incredible forgiveness He offers. It will make it easier to forgive those who have sinned against you.

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy Leigh DeMoss.

Verse of the Day

[Love Your Enemies] “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. — Matthew 5:43-45 (NKJV)
