Forgive Them

Getting Over Depression Journal

Scripture: Luke 23: [34] Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.

Observation: God forgave me even though I didn’t know what I was doing, which is most of the time. Most of my life I didn’t know and consistently sinned against God. Yet even though I gave up on myself He never gave up on me. I belong to God now, yet I still stumble into sin and I know He forgives me.

Application: It’s time I forgive others and receive them the way God has received me, with open arms. To live my life with my eyes wide open and realizing what I’m doing and doing it to glorify God.

Prayer: Dear Lord give me the heart of Jesus. A kind and compassionate heart may I sin no more and honor you.
