True Believers Forgive

“With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;”   Psalm 18:25

Here is the rule for receiving mercy, blessing and kindness from GOD.

While it is true salvation is the gift of the FATHER through the SON to all that receive Him through faith.  Mercy, blessing and kindness come when we are led by the SPIRIT that indwells us. How we live our lives after this so great gift will determine what further blessing we receive! 

After salvation the character is changed, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Cor. 5:17. 

If we hold on to the old way of a never forgiving heart full of envy and strife we cannot expect to be blessed by the GOD that forgave us?  You cannot separate forgiveness from salvation! A forgiving heart is a characteristic of the true believer! 

There are no exceptions when it comes to forgiveness.  We either forgive or we don’t!  To pick and choose who we forgive may make us think well about ourselves but it is not real forgiveness!  Forgiving those that cause the greatest harm will also bring the greatest blessing! True believers forgive!

Forgiveness is blessings door.

It will open your heart

And peace restore.

Where mercy resides

From deep within.

With untainted mind

And joys begin!

Forgiveness brings hope

Like never before.

Love lifting feelings

As the eagle you’ll sour!
