How do you forgive?
Galatians 5:13-14
You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
What does it look like to be free? It looks like a servant. A servant who willingly gives everything for the master IN LOVE. This week we talked a lot about serving one another in love. The fact of bitterness, anger, frustration and unforgiveness showed its ugly head. One afternoon I sat as they debated heavily in siSwati about what it ment to forgive. That will be a main topic I am hitting this week. How can you live in love when you have not forgiven? You can not. How do you forgive? That was a question posed by my ladies. Well that my friends is not easy to explain or do. Yet the secret comes down to you can not. You can not forgive by your own will. It is a spirit thing. When you walk in the spirit you begin to know this forgiveness yourself. Then only by the help and grace of God will you be able to live in the loving forgiveness. It all starts in prayer. Friday we spent in hour in prayer over everything we have discussed so far. It was so heart inspiring to watch my ladies lead out in prayer and love one another. I am starting to see love were there was none. God is at work!
PRAISE HIM ALL THE EARTH FOR HE ALONE IS WORTHY!
