How Have You Responded?
Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: My friend Marcia experienced a lot of hurt growing up with an alcoholic father. When God changed her life, she realized she had sinned in response to her father’s bad choices.
Marcia: I at that point wrote a letter to my father and sent it to him asking his forgiveness for all that I had done against him. So when I finally got a hold of him, I said, ‘Dad, I need to know if you got that letter I sent you.’
And he said, ‘Yes, Marcia. I got the letter, and I need to ask your forgiveness. You’re not the one that needs to be asking me for forgiveness.’
But I said, ‘Dad, I need to know that you forgive me for what I've done against you.’
He said, ‘Yes, I've forgiven you.’ And I said, ‘Daddy, I've already forgiven you. And God will forgive you to if you allow Him.’
Nancy: In a short time Marcia saw the fruit of her forgiveness.
Marcia: He told me that he had decided to make a change in his life and turn his life over to Christ.
Nancy: Do you need to ask for someone’s forgiveness? God may do amazing things through the process.
