Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Matthew 5:44 which says "But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you"

"The greatest example of course being Jesus himself. You see, Jesus was on the cross and He said “Forgive them for they know not what they do” it’s the perfect illustration of how we can respond to others who hurt us. Forgiveness to me is a direct correlation to love. When you forgive someone, you are choosing to extend grace as God does with us daily and as we talked about that last week, grace is His way of loving us.

Have you ever repeated the Lord’s prayer? There is that one line I could never forget “forgive my trespasses as we forgive those.” It’s so easy to repeat those words and underestimate the weight they carry. We ask God to forgive us as we forgive others and if we can’t forgive others, how can we expect for God to forgive us?

Forgiveness and love doesn’t mean you have to call the person who hurt you today and you have to confess that you are okay with what happened and you forgive them. It really means talking to God and allowing the poison that you are holding onto to be removed from your life..."
