Last month's virtue in In This House, We Will Giggle was Forgiveness.
Just a few mornings ago, every devotional I had read had to do with forgiveness. God has taught me there are no coincidences. I want to remember it all so I'm again using G.L.A.M. to sum it all up.
G: "We were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God." ~1 Cor. 6:11 --- "Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."~2 Cor 3:17
L: Daily Hope was all about forgiveness and outlined the steps to forgive:
- relinquish your right to get even and let God take revenge.
- respond to evil with good, praying for those who mistreat you.
- repeat these steps as long as necessary "not 7 times but 77 times."
- rescue others with the Good News of God's forgiveness.
A: We all get in those seasons when forgiveness is hard, and we think it is up to us to make it right. Going back to this when those times come will be hard, but so necessary.
M: God, I am a huge sinner who thinks she can do everything herself. I often pray: "empty me of myself so I may be filled with you." Help me to forgive wrongs and things I find unfair to me, and remembering it is your eternity that I'm living for.
