Tormentors

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: You’ve probably heard the story Jesus told of the servant who owed a king a huge amount of money. The king forgave the servant, but that servant refused to forgive someone else who owed him a small amount.

The king found out about it and was angry. Jesus says that the king “turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.” One translation says, “He turned him over to tormentors.”

When we refuse to forgive, God turns us over to tormentors. I think those can include the chronic emotional and physical disorders that many women experience. In some cases those problems come from unforgiveness. You see, God never intended that our bodies should hold up under the weight of bitterness and unforgiveness.

Is there some debt you’re still trying to collect? Do you want to be free from the torment? Then choose to cancel the debt and forgive.
