FORGIVINE THROUG HURTS
1. SORT your feelings.
(1 Peter 5:7-9a NIV) Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith…
2. PRAY them.
(Matthew 5:43-44 NIV) “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you…
3. CHOOSE forgiveness.
(Colossians 3:13 NIV) Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
(Romans 12:17-19 NIV) Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord
4. BLESS them.
(Romans 12:20-21 NIV) On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
