S/
Matthew 5:21-24 NKJV

“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell fire. Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

O/
Forgive and ask forgiveness to gain closeness with God. If we are held down by unforgiveness we can not experience God's complete love because we will be distracted.
We also come to God first asking Him to help us to forgive someone when He is asking us to try and reconcile with them first before we ask Him. Let us do what we can do so that God can do what we can't.

A/
I can look at what I can do before I ask God. It would be too easy if God did everything for me. ;P

P/
Father thank you for revealing to me something new that I have never seen. There are action steps that I can take as acts of faith that will allow Your power and grace to manifest itself in my life or someone else's. Thank you. Jesus Name Amen.

  2. Good reminder. There's SO much instruction in God's Word that leads us and directs us. We just gotta follow and obey. Glad the Lord is speaking to you.
