Forgiving Our Debtors - 123

FORGIVING OUR DEBTORS – SEPTEMBER 05, 2022

 

“Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.”

                                - Matthew 6:12 

 

Hello, empowered people! Welcome to a new month! It’s the first Monday of the month and here on 2 Empower U, we welcome you with an enlightening, uplifting discussion on forgiveness. Our dear Pastor Thomas A. DeLoach will be sharing his insights and experiences on forgiveness – forgiving others/forgiving your debtors, what it means to truly forgive, how you can let go, what is unforgiveness? These are the things that the pastor will discuss with you today.

 

Like a Father’s Broken Promise

 

Pastor Thomas will help you understand the importance of “forgiving your debtors” through the example of a father, his child, and a broken promise. If a father keeps promising his son to watch his baseball game but fails to do so every time he promises to, the child will store these memories in his mind. So, every time the child sees his father, all that he could think of would be the broken promise – the debt that his father owes him. And he will carry this throughout his life (if it remains unresolved). It will reflect on his attitude, his decisions, and how he treats others. 

 

This “unforgiveness” is also what hardens your heart – and you close your heart to others and the Lord. The pastor believes that this feeling will linger unless you learn how to forgive (and forget the hurts of the past).

 

“We want God to forgive us but we find it difficult to forgive other people.”

                                - Pastor Thomas A. DeLoach

 

Forgiveness is essential to the healing process.

When does one become forgiving? You become forgiving the minute that you decide to cancel someone’s debt to you through forgiveness.
