I am under rule of my father's house. He is giving me a room and food to partake in. He has his ways backed by his pride- to say that his ways are not His ways.
In the emotions that come upon me, I take defense to to wickedness of pride. This is nothing new, but I now proclaim the wisdom that is freely given to those who ask.
You see, as he curses his name in vain- it hurts me to the point of tears because Jesus is Lord. He is the author of my life. I do my best to surrender all unto Him with the help of the Holy Spirit. But the Lord my God does not hold grudges against anyone...
Even when Peter denied Him 3 times when the romans were proclaiming that Peter was one of His disciples. I am sure that Jesus was tempted to condemn Peter for what transpired before everyone. But, His trust was in God, He had to let it go- for God knows no sin.
God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit is forever Loving no matter how we treat or rebel against Him. The fruit of His promise is forgiveness, showing grace and mercy towards those who follow His commandments and law. He consistently give opportunity to those of His creation to come before Him, and when they lay down all the walls and give up everything, He may grant them repentance.
But as my dad holds the world in contempt, so do I hold him in contempt before God. I have despised his presence and ways of his pride, but I must let it go and forgive him and let it go.
How can the Lord forgive me if I can't forgive those around me. Matthew 6:15 But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
