Devotionals - Five minutes at the pump

Fuel-stop devotionals.

Written to be read in the time it takes to fill two tanks. A new one every day, drawn from a year's worth of readings — scripture, a thought to chew on, and a prayer.

The Weight of UnforgivenessColossians 3:13
No. 87
Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.Colossians 3:13

Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to get sick. It only hurts you. Forgiveness doesn't excuse what happened — it releases you from carrying it. It's an act of self-liberation as much as anything else.

Reflect

Is there someone you haven't forgiven? Not to excuse them, but for your own freedom — begin the process today.

Prayer

Lord, I choose to forgive. Help my feelings follow my decision. Free me from the weight of bitterness. Amen.
