Scripture says that offenses will come; people will let us down and we will let others down as well. Forgiveness, in these situations however, is left up to us to pray about and then practice.
In her new book, Nancy Leigh DeMoss, the best-selling author of Lies Women Believe, asks the tough, penetrating questions about the healing of conflict – which is ultimately a call to repent and apathway to freedom.
Jacket Description/Flap:
I know just enough about computers, as they say, to be dangerous. But one thing I’ ve learned the hard way is the meaning of that little button that’ s spelled D-E-L. That’ s right. The delete key. (I’ m guessing you know about that one yourself.)
Like you, I can think of times when I was working away at something on my computer and accidentally pressed the delete button, only to watch all my hard work vanish into thin air, leaving behind nothing but a blank screen of forgotten words. I wish the delete key was so easy to press in real life.
In many ways, what happens when we trash a computer document is a picture of what takes place when we truly forgive someone who has wronged us. We clear their record. We wipe out their debt. Isn’ t that the way God has forgiven us? All of our sin, deleted. Forever. All because of Christ’ s death on the cross— in our place. Debt canceled.--Nancy Leigh DeMoss
