Luke 23:34
Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.
Remember, Jesus was on the cross when he said this.
Greetings Bible Enthusiast!
Readers have shared some HORRIBLE things that have been done to themselves, or those they love, including murder. I will share some things that I shared back in November, as my readers are again asking me, "Does God really expect me to forgive them?"
The answer still is a resounding yes. And there are still testimonies of others that may help you. I think of Corrie ten Boom who was able to forgive one of the most cruel guards in a concentration camp where she and her sister suffered horrors--her sister died there.
God Bless You!
