Blessed Day to Body of Christ, Forgive one another. Food for Thoughts. It is so important that Yeshua said if we are standing at the altar praying, and the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) brings to mind someone who has something against us, we should leave our gift at the altar and go to make things right with them first. Matthew 5:23–24 Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you; leave there your gift before the altar, and go your way; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Just as prayers for forgiveness must be accompanied by confession and evidence of penitence, the Bible makes it clear that our attempts to secure forgiveness for ourselves among family and acquaintances should include an acknowledgment of our error, a sincere change, and if applicable, compensation. Just as we sometimes need forgiveness, others do as well. And just as the forgiveness released through accepting Yeshua brought us new life, the forgiveness that we exercise keeps us in that new life. That said, forgiveness does not mean that we allow others to destroy us. Despite our sincere commitment to model Yeshua’s forgiveness to the world, we may be called upon to protect ourselves, our family or even our nation.
