Short Accounts?

Are you the type of person who hold’s grudges against others? If so, you may be surprised at who you’re really hurting. Even if the other person was totally wrong, if you don’t do everything you can to clear it up, you’re not only hurting yourself by holding unforgiveness in your heart, but also by causing God to withhold his forgiveness from you. I know it sounds hard-core, but Jesus Himself told us that’s how forgiveness works. We’re even given a time-line to get things fixed before the sun goes down! And not only that, but before we bring any type of offering to God. For us to forgive is so important that God’s emphasis is all over it throughout the Bible. And just think…. if Christians really took this message to heart and kept short accounts with one another, what an incredible Church we would be! So, if you’ve got something in your heart that’s keeping you separated from a brother or sister in Christ–today’s the day to fix it!

“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Jesus of Nazareth (Luke 6:37-38)

In Christ,
