Unleashing the TRUTH
This chapter brings me back to 2002 when I first read the RYM book. When I first read that Peter asked how many times he should forgive his brother who had sinned against him. âSeven times?â he suggested. But the Lord replied, âI do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times sevenâ (Matt. 18:22). Thatâs 490 times! I have always had that in my mind ever since and it helped renew my mind to the truths and another from that book that put things in perspective was that âFor if you forgive men for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you DO NOT FORGIVE men, then your Father WILL NOT FORGIVE your transgressions” (M6:1415). Therefore, if you want to reap kindness, sow kindness. If you want to reap forgiveness, forgive!
I know I am posting quite a bit from RYM but it taught me so much regarding forgiveness and relates to this lesson (not just for a restored marriage) Surrender yourself totally to Him, repent of your sins and be forgiven, be willing to forgive, and then put your trust in God who has a wonderful future, a hope, and an abundant life waiting for those whose hearts are completely Hisâthis is what He is asking you to do.
Thank you for this lesson. The lesson from A Wise Woman that really helped me with forgiving is https://hopeatlast.com/c3/day-8-chapter-3-a-gentle-and-quiet-spirit/. I learned so many things regarding forgiving that I did not previously understand, the most important being that forgiveness isn’t a onetime thing, but that we must forgive 70×7 times.
For me I found He did not remove memories of things in my childhood, but He did remove the negative emotions associated with it. I can think back and see His hand and presence in those situations, and He fills me with love and understanding when I think of those situations. The same with memories from other hurts in my life.
I used to stand back or run away to not get slapped again, but my Beloved is helping me to turn the other cheek and face another slap. I cannot do it without Him, because my flesh is weak and wants to run and hide, but His strength is perfected in my weakness.
