SCRIPTURE: 2 Samuel 9:3 And the king said, is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet.
MEDITATION: Saul tried to kill David, but after the death of Saul and his son Jonathan who was David's best friend whom he loved dearly rembered the covenant between them. Saul was David's previous oppressor, but David sent for his grandson not for retribution but for restoration. David restored the land and the servants of Saul to his grandson Mesphibosheth as an act of kindness and to keep the covenant he had with Jonathan. As Christians it our responsibility to reconcile with others even if they have caused us a great deal of grief. We must sow peace, not pain. Let us not be bound by anger, fear or hatred. Peace must prevail and we must move to reconciliation. God has redeemed and reconciled us to Himself, therefore as Christians we must reconcile with those who have oppressed us. Reconciliation brings peace, have you reconciled?
GOD'S WORD TEACHES US TO FORGIVE AND RECONCILE, SATAN TRIES TO KEEP YOUR HEART BOUND WITH UNFORGIVNESS, PAIN,RESENTFULNESS AND BITTERNESS. TRY JESUS FOR HE IS A HEART FIXER AND A MIND REGULATOR.

i see you are really reading my mind today. this is probably the number 1 area in which i struggle with, when it comes to my spirit. that forgiveness versus being the unforgiven.
i honestly try to do better.
