Heart
32 “Then, after he had summoned him, his master said to him, ‘You wicked slave! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. 33 Shouldn’t you also have had mercy on your fellow slave, as I had mercy on you?’ 34 And his master got angry and handed him over to the jailers to be tortured until he could pay everything that was owed. 35 So My heavenly Father will also do to you if each of you does not forgive his brother from his heart.” Matthew 18:32-35
Do you think much about how important a part of you that your heart is in your life? Sure, the easy thing is that it is the key mechanism to keep your blood pumping, which impacts a lot. Have you ever sat down and thought about your heart having feeling? You have heard the terms broken heart, heavy heart, light-hearted, strong heart, and hard-hearted. All these types of feelings that someone has show that the heart plays an important role in every aspect of your life. When you get scared your heart can beat faster, and when you are calm your heart beats slower and with each heart beat you can feel the impact on the rest of your body. So, what about forgiveness, some of you know that anger at someone can make your heart heavy and beat at a higher rhythm, but if you loosen that anger, you can feel a calmness come over your heart. That is why this scripture is so telling, it is just a minor part of a parable that really shows the impact of someone's heart and the love that God shows us. Dig deep into the goodness of your heart to forgive others and love God with all your Heart.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
