The Narrow Way

Scripture Reading: Colossians 3:13

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

Devotional:

Forgiveness is a powerful thing. It has the ability to heal relationships, release burdens, and bring peace to our hearts. As Christians, we are called to forgive others just as the Lord has forgiven us.

Colossians 3:13 reminds us to bear with each other and forgive one another if any of us has a grievance against someone. Forgiveness is not always easy, but it is essential if we want to experience the fullness of God’s love and grace. When we choose to forgive others, we are reflecting the love of Christ and extending His forgiveness to others.

Forgiveness also has the power to release us from the burden of bitterness and resentment. When we hold onto unforgiveness, it can weigh us down and hinder our relationship with God and others. But when we choose to forgive, we can experience a freedom that comes from letting go of the past and embracing the present.

Choose to forgive others as the Lord has forgiven us. Release any bitterness or resentment and choose to walk in the freedom that comes from forgiveness. As we do this, we can experience a deeper sense of peace and joy in our lives.

Prayer:

Lord, I choose to forgive those who have hurt me and release any bitterness or resentment in my heart. Thank You for forgiving me and extending Your love and grace to me. Help me to reflect Your love to others by forgiving them as You have forgiven me. Amen.
