The Healing Powers of Forgiveness

''When I think of all my faults and all my failures when I consider all the times I've let God down, I am humbled by the grace He has extended, I'm amazed at the mercy I have found.''


Personally, I find it amazing that Jesus would die for my sins and forgive me of my offences against Him. I also find it amazing that when I forgive someone, I feel like I've been freed from a burden that I wasn't entirely aware of. It's interesting that only by the help of God can I forgive someone who's broken my heart or trust. In my own power, I could never do that, because I'm pretty good at holding grudges. It just comes naturally, but forgiving doesn't. I'm so thankful God gives me the power to forgive and keep being shaped in the Potter's hands.

  1. Yet another good truth. His love...His forgiveness is something that has to supernaturally flow through us...you're right...it most certainly does NOT come naturally. I'm so glad to know that HE can forgive so naturally...ahh...to be more like Him, Kales. Thank you for the reminder of His greatness.
