From Our Pastor's Desk
Welcome to this our new Month of His Forgiveness on Earth in Jesus name. Matthew 6:12, 14-15 – “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors…
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses”
God so much loves to forgive that He instructs His children to always forgive too.
Jesus told Peter how many times to forgive his brother in Matthew 18:21 – “Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven”
Forgiveness means absolution, granting pardon, mercy, and exoneration.
The release of the resentment caused by an offense. Brethren, have you been hurt? Abused, molested, shamed, embarrassed, scorned, made fun of, rejected, abused or persecuted?
We know it’s hard to forgive some wrongs sometimes. But only God and the Godly can forgive. God wants us to forgive, as He has forgiven us.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. So, Mercy Seatizens, welcome to August, Our Month of His Forgiveness on Earth.
We will offend people, and people WILL offend us, but we must learn to for-give them, forgive ourselves, and accept God’s forgiveness.
This month & beyond, God will arise & daily renew His mercies upon us , in Jesus Name. Amen.
