Few acts have a greater impact on those who mistrust us and abuse us than our telling them we forgive them, and we are asking God to forgive them too.
From 1 Peter 4:8: “Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins.”
Forgiveness is the economy of the heart . . . forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits.
From Luke 11:4: “And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone indebted to us. And do not bring us to the time of trial.”
Hannah More (1745-1833) was an English playwright, poet, educator, and religious writer.

From John 3:16-17: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not perish but may have eternal life. Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him.”
Imagine receiving one gift
But, never accepting its love
Forsaking Father’s lasting grace
Angels witness all from above
This precious gift brings lasting peace
Why would God’s love remain unwrapped?
Sin continues weaving darkness
Triggering mankind to feel trapped
Spirit moves into heart’s fabric
Cosmic collision stirs within
Christ stepping into this dark breach
Divine love snaps sin’s frail linchpin
For God so loved this fallen world
His Holy Son pays for sin’s debts
Unlocking eternity’s gate
Christ’s mercy saves, without regrets
Now embracing and accepting
Father’s loving gift now received
Trusting in Savior’s greatest gift
Forgiveness, all who believe
From the words of American pastor and Christian teacher, Charles Stanley: “The greatest gift ever given was the sacrifice of Jesus, and all we must do is accept this free gift in joy forever with Him.”
