Today’s take home statement, Week Seven, started this morning during my quiet time:
My weight loss devotional this morning was about Forgiveness. Guess what tonight’s class was about? Forgiveness.
Each day, I pray for and believe that God will give me the correct answer BEFORE the situation, test, or question arises. He did just that this morning.
So tonight, I was prepared for the inner examination we needed to make in determining if there was a person – or group of people, that we needed to extend forgiveness.
The statement that brought the most mmm’s from the group is: Would I trade my forgiveness from God for the right to hold someone accountable for their offense toward me?
Forgiveness keeps my heart open. It’s my response (1 Peter 2:23) that allows my decision to forgive to lead and my feelings have to follow that decision.
