After Forgiving
Job 42:10 KJV
[10] And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.
We might have read what Job's friends did to him. They didn't show themselves friendly. But despite all, God told Job to forgive and pray for his friends. See God preaching forgiveness by Himself!
Beloved, the power of forgiving an offence can't be underestimated. You see, Job was restored after forgiving his friends. Does it mean that without his forgiveness he would've been restored? Look at what Matthew 5:23-25.
Beloved that blessing or peace you long for might be tied you to your obedience of forgiving an offence.
We should be like Job that never sought the death of his friends. Without Job's prayers his friends life would've been hell but Job love his friends despite all. Love is all. Show love by forgiving that person you vowed never to forgive and you'll see a new and restored you.
Father, teach us forgiveness!!
