Forgiving Streisand....

And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.” Mark 11:25 KJV

For years I thought about a concert where Streisand had someone dress like the president and mock Him. and then someone through their drink in Her face and I always liked the person who did it because I thought that what She did was wrong. Recently I was asked to make a list of people I need to forgive. I had some family on there and other people. I also had artists of Christian music even K-love. But did I remember to put Streisand (Barbara)? This Got me to think is it better to forgive than to harbor ill feelings in my heart.

32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:32 NKJV

This got me think of people like Nacy Polsi, our president, and so on and so forth.

Forgiven!!!! (From my heart).

This morning I thought of the verse where Jesus was with a person who was caught in adultery and the Pharisees who wanted to stone her for it.

7 So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” John 8:7 NKJV

11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. John 8:11 NKJV

Jesus forgave her!!!

Not one of us has not screwed up and sinned according to the Bible. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 3:23 NKJV

So, why should we not forgive? All we do in the process of not forgiving is build up resentment, grudges, dislike, condemnation, blame, and punishment for others.

It is not our job to judge it is our job to forgive.

So, I go back to where we started and say that today I forgive Streisand for anything she has done that I didn't like, and the same with the others.

If Jesus can forgive people who beat him, took his clothes, and cast lots for them.

16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him. Luke 23:16 NKJV

34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. Luke 23:16 NKJV

Then why can't we forgive?

Write a list of people to forgive and pray a prayer of forgiveness for them then go and burn your list to God and let all that surrounded you in that built up of what you harbored be washed away and leave the rest to God!!!

The only thing not forgiving does is punish you, not anyone else!!!! People do not care if you have a grudge or such against them.

Forgive today! Set those captives free from your body today!!!
