Waking in God’s Favor: Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends. Proverbs 17:9 (NLT)
Without forgiveness there is no future
In our society people will take advantage of you. They will scheme, swindle, and fraudulently go after your wealth. People like Bernard Madoff, who perpetrated over a 50 billion dollar Ponzi scheme, have made money their God. They have no problem ripping you off, if it puts money into their pockets. They knowingly take advantage of their influence, power, and wealth.
Forgiveness is a divine quality the comes from God
Level 4 Stewards practice the spiritual principle of forgiveness. They have personally experienced the transformational power of forgiveness in their own lives and extend that kind of forgiveness to others.
Forgiveness is critical to the healing process
When someone takes advantage of you, your faith can help you heal from your loss in many ways. Forgiveness is not an option for Level 4 Stewards. They extend grace to others, learn from the experience, and move on with their life’s mission. You can only experience this kind of forgiveness when you are connected to the Source of forgiveness.
Prayer of Blessings: Lord, place Your spirit of forgiveness in our heart.
