FORGIVE ALREADY







As I was reading in the book of Job this morning I noticed something very interesting...After Job had lost all of his children, sheep, camels, oxen, and donkeys, not to mention being struck with oozing sores from head to toe. The Lord came to the three friends who had been judging Job with a critical attitude, and making assumptions of why he was being attacked. The Lord told them to take a burnt ...offering to Job for their sin. The God said, "Job will pray for you," and The Lord said I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your sin. WOW!!!!!! Shortly after this conversation the three friends, did bring an offering to Job and he prayed for them. The Lord accepted Job's prayer. The word of The Lord said in Job 42:12, " After Job had prayed for his friends, The Lord made him prosperous again and gave him twice the amount he had before." Come on now, this is awesome!!! The way I understand it; The Lord blessed Job after his willingness to forgive. I wonder how many of our blessings are stored up in a storehouse because of our unwillingness to forgive. What your unwilling to let go of, has caused you to hang onto lack.
Forgiveness =Freedom. Why would stay behind bars if you have the key to get out????
