I was reading in Genesis 50 15-21 where Joseph reassured his brothers that the wrongs which they had perpetrated against him were forgiven. Joseph had not only been able to prosper amongst the heathen , he had been able to prosper others as well , and he had been afforded an opportunity to grow spiritually!!! What his brothers had meant for evil GOD had meant for Good!!!He and his brothers wept as forgiveness was asked for.His previous actions show that indeed his family was already forgiven. Apart from GOD’S people , in a land of sin , Joseph had always carried LOVE in his heart!!! Joseph had always carried GOD in his heart!!! Praise GOD!!!
Is there LOVE in our hearts? Is there LOVE in my heart? If so , forgiveness will come as an act of second nature!!! As I have stated previously ; when we hold onto something or allow something to hold onto us that is no Good ; than no Good can manifest!!! Imagine the freedoms which we gain as we forgive others and ask for forgiveness ourselves!!! Forgiveness is an outward sign or symptom of True LOVE. Go show some True LOVE!!!!!!!Mark

How true, Mark. And forgiveness is sometimes difficult, too, toward a person who continually re-offends and has no intention of ceasing to cause hurt. Yet Christ in us is enough. We can do all things through Him. Great post–Thanks!

Love is in ALL hearts. That’s the nature of Heart. Forgiving is what helps us feel, KNOW and LIVE from that love. I learned that from a course in miracles. Our grievances keep us in a state of holy forgetfulness.
I love your devotion to God, Mark! So beautiful.
