Forgiveness

LUKE 23 As hard as it is to read this chapter and to walk the road of suffering with our Savior, it is noted that even in the hardest time of the life of our Master, His one thought was forgiving men for their sin. Is that our thought when others condemn us or say lies about us? Can we have a forgiving spirit and words to tell those that they are forgiven or does the enemy come and tell us to be silent or worse do we, like the fearful disciples hide ourselves away from the crowd? 

Today, may we have the heart of Jesus in these hard times. May we earnestly desire that our words and actions prove we are His disciples, His followers, His trusted ones.
