| How To Forgive (WOW)
One day a while back, a man, his heart heavy with
grief, was walking in
the woods. As he thought about his life this day,
he knew many things
were not right. He thought about those who had
lied about him back when
he had a job.
His thoughts turned to those who had stolen his
things and cheated him.
He remembered family that had passed on. His mind
turned to the illness
he had that no one could cure. His very soul was
filled with anger,
resentment and frustration.
Standing there this day, searching for answers he
could not find,
knowing all else had failed him, he knelt at the
base of an old oak tree
to
seek the one he knew would always be there. And
with tears in his
eyes, he prayed:
"Lord- You have done wonderful things for me in
this life. You have
told me to do many things for you, and I happily
obeyed. Today, you
have told me to forgive. I am sad, Lord, because I
cannot. I don't
know how.
It is not fair Lord. I didn't deserve these wrongs
that were done
against me and I shouldn't have to forgive. As
perfect as your way is
Lord, this one thing I cannot do, for I don't know
how to forgive. My
anger is so deep Lord, I fear I may not hear you,
but I pray that you
teach me to do this one thing I cannot do - Teach
me To Forgive."
As he knelt there
in the quiet shade of that old
oak tree, he felt
something fall onto his shoulder. He opened his
eyes. Out of the
corner of one eye, he saw something red on his
&nbs p;shirt.
He could not turn to see what it was because where
the oak tree had been
was a large square piece of wood in the ground. He
raised his head and
saw two feet held to the wood with a large spike
through them.
He raised his head more, and tears came to his
eyes as he saw Jesus
hanging on a cross. He saw spikes in His hands, a
gash in His side, a
torn and battered body, deep thorns sunk into His
head. Finally he saw
the suffering and pain on His precious face. As
their eyes met, the
man's
tears turned to sobbing, and Jesus began to
speak.
"Have you ever told a lie?" He asked?
The man answered - "yes, Lord."
"Have you ever been given too much change and kept
it?"
The man answered - " yes. Lord." And the man
sobbed more and more.
"H ave you ever taken something from work that
wasn't yours?" Jesus
asked?
And the man answered - "yes, Lord."
"Have you ever sworn, using my Father's name in
vain? "
The man, crying now, answered - "yes, Lord."
As Jesus asked many more times, "Have you ever"?
The man's crying
became uncontrollable, for he could only answer -
"yes, Lord."
Then Jesus turned His head from one side to the
other, and the man felt
something fall on his other shoulder. He looked
and saw that it was the
blood of Jesus. When he looked back up, his eyes
met those of Jesus, and
there was a look of love the man had never seen or
known before.
Jesus said, "I didn't deserve this either, but I
forgive you."
It may be hard to see how you're going to get
through something, but
when you look back in life, you realize how true
this statement is.
Read the following first line slowly and let it
sink in.
If God brings you to it - He will bring you
through it.
When
Jesus died on the cross, he was thinking of
you!
