For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.

Jesus taught us to love and forgive one another, and He taught us the pattern for doing both.

He instructs us to forgive immediately. If we are standing at the altar, and we remember that someone has an offense against us, we are to leave immediately to seek out that person. Stop praying! Do not sing another chorus! Do not conceal unforgiveness with religious ritual. Get forgiveness. Go, offer forgiveness.

He instructs us to be reconciled to the one from whom we are estranged. We must take the first step to reach out and set things right. With all humility and gentleness, with patience and love, we must strive to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace (Ephesians 4:2-3). We are united as one.

He instructs us to forgive absolutely and completely. In the same way that Jesus is faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (I John 1:9), we are to openhandedly forgive the one who offends, betrays or lies about us.

When we take the step of faith to offer forgiveness and to seek reconciliation, we never go alone. The Prince of Peace walks beside us and gives us the strength to do all things.

Blessing: 

May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you and give you His peace. May the spirit of forgiveness be released in your life so that you are liberated from the burden that you have carried. May the Lord Jesus Christ fill you with His grace and peace. Amen.
