Some of us have allowed bitterness, rejection, or offence to take root in our heart – weeds that are watered by our unforgiveness. But remember that with Jesus Christ there is good news: He hears our every thought, sees the hurts we hold, and feels the pain that we carry. Today the Lord invites us to uproot – with His help – those things that we were never supposed to carry with us.
We are called to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Unforgiveness should not go with us on this journey. We cannot move freely forwards if there are any bitter roots in our heart.
And He says to His children, “Know it is kindness and mercy that I have for you. Do I not have so many thoughts about you that you cannot number them? Did I not say that I have plans for you, plans to prosper you and not bring you harm? Partner with Me so that together we can uproot unforgiveness and I will mend your heart into wholeness.”
Forgiveness
21 Then Peter came to Him and asked, “Lord, how many times will my brother sin against me and I forgive him and let it go? Up to seven times?”
22 Jesus answered him, “I say to you, not up to seven times, but seventy times seven.
Matthew 18:21-22 (AMP)
Activation: Ask Holy Spirit to show you any hurts you are carrying in your heart, and how they came to be there. Move into repentance, break agreement with any chains of unforgiveness and allow God to take them away.
