Redeeming forgiveness

When we forgive,
we are redeemed.
When we are redeemed,
we are forgiven.
Reading the passages of Psalm 107 is entirely about forgiveness & redemption.
Psalm 107:10,13-15 “Some sat in darkness, in utter darkness, prisoners suffering in iron chains…Then they cried to the LORD in their distress, he brought them out of darkness, the utter darkness & broke away their chains. Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love & his wonderful deeds for humankind.”
There’s so much hope in this passage. May we have compassion towards each other & forgive one another, just as the LORD forgives us. May we pray for each other, especially those whom have hurt us or we have hurt.
Forgiveness is not something to be taken for granted. It’s a gift; from God & the best unwrapped gift we can give each other. Sometimes, it’s the self, one needs to forgive. Through it all, the celebration of redemption brings us together with joy, hope & love.
I pray this is a season of loving forgiveness & total grace. May we pray, letting go of anger, hatred, bitterness & seek joy, love & hope. I know through Jesus this is possible. In His name I pray, Amen
