Forgive It

God’s Word is not a menu. It’s not something from which we can pick and choose. We can’t decide what sounds good to us and what we’d rather ignore. If God said it, He meant it, and if He meant it, we’d better live it – not altering it or customizing it to fit our wishes.

One of the hardest things God commanded has to be forgiveness. It’s needed when we’re hurt or when someone has wronged us. It’s a lot easier to hold the bitterness and keep the grudge, isn’t it?

Today, is there a grudge you’re holding? If so, will you stop treating God’s Word like a pick-and-choose menu? Will you forgive the wrong? “And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him” (Luke 17:4 NKJV).
