God is passionate about forgiving. He is a forgiving God that is continually in the process of making us clean.  Psalm 103 even tells us “He has removed our rebellious acts as far away from us as the east is from the west”.  Amazing!  He takes all of our ugliness and the stuff that we wish we could get out of our minds, and He chooses not to remember them. 

Unfortunately we take what God designed to be beautiful, and we fail to pass it on to the people around us who need it the most.  God forgives and His expectation is that we should be extenders of His forgiveness.  Forgiveness means to “turn the key, open the cell door, and let the prisoner walk free”.  When we give forgiveness this way, when we release people, everyone walks free. 

What relationship in your life is waiting for your forgiveness?  Have you been holding back because of hurt or because you want to make “the offender” in your life suffer?  Don’t miss out on what God could do through your life simply because you don’t forgive.  Live in an economy of forgiveness.  Today…turn the key, open the cell door, and let people walk free!
