Today's Daily Devotional

Be quick to forgive others.

I am commanding you to forgive others and to do it as quickly as you can.

You do not have to want to, but do it anyway. It is for your own good that I am asking this of you. To not forgive keeps Me from forgiving you. It also gives way to hatred, hard feelings, envy, strife, stress, anger and many things that lessen the quality of your spiritual walk.

I alone will judge the works of man so leave the job to me and forgive as I have forgiven you. Do so right away so as not to harbor ill feelings. When you do so, even when you don’t feel like it, I will bless you and your rewards will be many.

For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

— Matthew 6:14

And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.

— Mark 11:25
