Today’s Scriptures

For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Matthew 6:14-15

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Ephesians 4:31-32

Today’s Thought

Unforgiveness is a prison where you're both the inmate and the guard. You hold the key but refuse to turn it. Forgiveness isn't about feelings—it's about faith. You forgive in obedience, and your feelings catch up later. The secret to forgiving others is remembering what God forgave in you. You're not giving them something you earned; you're sowing what you reaped from God's mercy.

Today’s Challenge

Take a moment and think about the people in your life. Is there someone you need to forgive?

If so, speak the name of someone you need to forgive. Say it out loud: "I forgive you by faith." Feel the chains break.
