Forgive Everyone
Involved
Day 180
When someone close to you has taken his or her life, a
natural tendency is to try and understand the reason for it and to place blame.
Be cautious. Focusing on blame will only make you bitter. Bitterness will not
resolve any issues, but will block your healing.
Shelly lost her son through suicide. She says, “Yes, there
are people we could blame. But the greater challenge to us as Christians was to
rise up and say, “We forgive. We’re not going to hold them accountable in any
way, shape, or form.’
“We did whatever we had to do to align ourselves in a way
that we could imagine the Lord Jesus Christ doing. When we were willing to do
that, we released healing, and we released miracles.”
Turn your thoughts to the things of God – His words, His
attributes, His creation, His promises – and not to blame.
“But there is forgiveness with thee” (Psalm 130:4 KJV).
Lord, forgive me and
open my heart to forgive others who are involved in this situation. Amen.
