Forgiveness Means Cancellation of All Debts

Benefits Of Forgiveness.

Only God can provide and give us the everlasting and wholesome love. Only God can supply the Primary Love. Hebrew 12:9 - God is the Father of our spirit. God is love and the very essence of God is LOVE. His first, middle and last name is LOVE !

We often seek to be loved, affirmed and satisfied by looking at man , who is only able to provide the secondary love-human love. That's how hurt, disappointment, bitterness, anger, frustrations and all other negative emotions creep in. In actual fact, man is unable to meet the need and take the place of God in filling our 'love tank'...

Let us therefore, release all the unmet expectations, forgive and look to God to provide and fill us. Let's get all hindrances out of the way. Let's rid ourselves off all unhealthy emotional connection and release them- letting go of all the hurts and disappointments. Let the onion skins be peeled off layer by layer.

Let us take responsibility and understand that forgiveness is a decision that we have to make, a progress we go through. We are the ones who 'will' it to be. It is a choice we undertake! You see, when we have chosen to forgive, there will no longer be any ill-will in out hearts, no pain or anguish because all the past hurts have been neutralised. God wants to 'infiltrate' every part of my life, into every situation and into every matter that concerns me... every good thing in our lives is from God-so let us be thankful at all times!!

Passage taken from Matthew 18:21-36 talks about the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant:

- a debt is owed when we feel that someone has failed us in our expectations of them and we are hurt...

-in the passage, before he forgives with integrity, the King wants to take into account- not just offering a 'blanket cover' eg We forgive all, but actually look into the accounts, and then cancel and release every debt- canceling specific transgressions against us, exactly what was taken from us and forgive on what we know and what we are conscious of being taken.

-the King knows that the servant was unable to repay the debt owed, and in his mercy, he has chosen to forgive and to cancel the debt owing him.

(Many a time, we are unable to pay back what we owe. We can't give away anything unless we first have them - see? Many times we are also bankrupt, we don't have it in the first place.

When we deal with forgiveness, ask God for compassion!!

Let Mercy triumph over Judgment !!

Imagine if God counts my iniquities , who then can stand??? but PTL !! He has chosen to remove them as far as the east is from the west....
Unless you cancel the debt and write off the account after you release forgiveness, it is not complete. You forgive and you no longer keep a record - you just cancel the debt because it is impossible to be repaid... so just release the whole thing and come out free...
How true it is to say that often times, we are the one who swallow the poison pills but expect the other person to die....I guess unforgiveness enables the bitter roots to grow in us and in the end we are the one who will suffer the consequence!!)

God's Love Is Unconditional but Forgiveness is Conditional.

Again, LET MERCY TRIUMPH OVER JUDGMENT !!.
If we want mercy from God, we have to grant mercy to others. If we want justice, then we are under the judgment from God also.
Matt 5:7 - Let us flow in grace and mercy - (cancel the debt)

Forgive on a daily basis Forgive at that moment!
