Even from the Cross, Jesus shouted "Father Forgive Them..."

They had just beaten Him to the point just before death, forced Him to carry the final instrument of His death to a place they called the skull. But in an "ACT" of "Ultimate" love He spoke the words I think would change the way we love.

"Forgive Them..."

• Forgiveness is Love at it's greatest.
• Forgiveness is not about getting out, but rather about getting free.
• Forgiveness is just as much for the giver as it is the receiver.

The Bible says:

Love keeps No Record of Wrong (1 Corinthians 13:5)

As you read this if you are reminded of someone who hurt you, disappointed you or some other pain, forgive them. Just tell the Lord: "I choose to forgive them."

Imagine if the Lord kept a record of our wrongs, we would not be able to stand. But the Lord shows His love through the act of forgiveness, that we might view Him in such a ways that we would not want to sin as to disappoint such a loving father.

Thank you Lord for your Word.

Lord, if you kept a record of our sins,
who, O Lord, could ever survive?
But you offer forgiveness,
that we might learn to fear you.
~Psalm 130:3-4
