The Process of Forgiveness
Nursing Home Service - October 25, 2009
* *Let’s begin today by reading Matthew 6:9-15* */Pray then like this: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
/
Forgiving those who have seriously hurt us is one of our most challenging "assignments."
And merely having a desire to obey God or saying the right words does not necessarily accomplish the task.
Old memories and pain can steal back into the mind, stirring up emotions of anger and injustice.
Though we have a responsibility to take the initiative soon after suffering harm, forgiveness for deep hurts is a process.
Begin immediately to prevent a root of bitterness from developing.
But remember: The deeper the hurt, the more time it will take to work through forgiveness.
Never become discouraged — the Lord will walk with you each step of the way.
Confession to God is the beginning of the process.
Come before Him, admitting any resentment and acknowledging it as sin.
As you lay your anger and hurt before the Lord, let Him begin to heal your broken heart.
Sometimes the process can also involve going to the offender and confessing your sinful attitude toward him.
This is a time not to build your case or itemize his wrongs but simply to admit your own.
Although the offense against you may seem greater than your unforgiving attitude, avoid the temptation to "rank" sins.
And leave judgment to God.
Forgiveness brings freedom from the agitation that accompanies resentment.
In working through the process, you'll begin to see the one who hurt you through eyes of compassion.
Eventually, you will be able to thank God for the opportunity to learn forgiveness and live in His lavish grace.
