Forgiveness


Mark 11:25 "And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."

Luke 7:47-48 “…Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.”And he said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”(Jesus speaking to the accusers and the woman caught in adultery)

Matthew 6:14 "For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you"

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 "Love is patient and kind;love does not envy or boast;it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way;it is not irritable or resentful;it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."

Ephesians 4:31-32 "Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."

Re: Forgiveness
what about the shame of sin?its ok saying forgive one another,I get that bit-but I also see people who are still crippled by what they have done/said in the past-what about them?what do you tell them?
They've confessed their sins and repent of them but are barely able to function because of a life of drink/drugs or name your poison.
How do you convince them that they are forgiven?The pain and shame runs deep.

Thx Lisa for the beautiful thread, as a die hard Spiritual guy, who believes in a bit of everything, we both know what love is built upon, and forgiveness is a big part of it.

We're all given Gods greatest power, the power of love & forgiveness. Without those two, I wouldn't know where my life would be without them.

I would tell them to pray and ask for peace, joy and comfort and a healing of their broken hearts.

We are all damaged goods, every single one of us. Some a little more then others, but we are all pretty much a disaster. It is only through Jesus that we can made whole again in Him and He can heal our wounds, bumps and bruises.

I would offer to walk along side them for awhile, because forgiveness isn't something you can convince someone with words. Shame and guilt take a long time to be removed, and I have found what helps is to demonstrate to the other person that they have incredible worth and value to me: just as they are.

I have come to realize that the most powerful words in the world aren't "I love you" but "You matter to me!"

captainThese quotes have all taken flesh in my own life and do again as I read them,I say again because I/we need to be reminded constantly of them-for when the enemy comes in like a flood-and bowls me off my feet! [link to www.biblegateway.com]
However,for various reasons not everyone can take to the scriptures in that way-one person I know turned to God over 15yrs ago and is still deeply troubled by 20yrs of the drink!hasnt had a drink in 15yrs and still being hammered by the past-we all constantly keep him in our prayers,he has done so much good and yet still cannot see-what do you do/say to someone like that?

thanks for the quotes I'll print them out.

so many good people who have disturbing pasts are crippled when by now they should be made free.
