Title: Forgive!

-
and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Ephesians 4:32 KJV
Devotion: On several occasions I have heard people say "No, over my dead body, I will not forgive ...." Such people keep malice even with their spouse, colleague in the office or neighbourhood. Yet they keep attending church and praying but they get no response to the prayers not knowing why the prayers are not answered.
  But you and me have been thought by Lord Jesus Christ himself to forgive them that trespass against us so that our prayers will be answered (Matt 6:14-15). Therefore we are not to be found in such situations, in fact we should pray (Matt 5:44) for those who trespass against us that they have a change of heart and live a life of obedience. Let us forgive because God Himself forgave us because of His son Jesus Christ, for for Christ's sake.
  Therefore dearly beloved, next time a person offends you, forgive and forget, relate with him with a tender heart, repay evil with good (ROM. 12:21) and God will reward you for it. What's your opinion on this? Please share with us. Be blessed in Jesus name. Hallelujah.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

-
Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
