Fast Day 6
Day 6 - January 16
“I tell you, her sins—and they are many—have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love.” - Luke 7:47 (NLT)
Jesus spoke these words about the immoral woman who sought Him out, broke open her alabaster jar, and poured out perfume on His feet, washing them with her tears and drying them with her hair. Something had already happened in her heart—she had received grace from Jesus that moved her to find Him and offer such costly love. She received forgiveness, yet even before Jesus declared it publicly, she was already responding with affection and gratitude.
He who is forgiven little loves little—but he who is forgiven much loves much. Freely we have been forgiven; freely we can love.
Take a moment to reflect on how much you have been forgiven. Is there a sin you have already confessed and repented of, yet still don’t feel forgiven for? Break agreement with shame. Declare that Jesus’ sacrifice is enough and that God has truly forgiven you. Pour out a sacrifice of praise to Jesus. Receive His forgiveness and His love—and then choose to love Him back.
Once you receive forgiveness and the Father’s love, you will find that you have so much more forgiveness and love to give.
Prayer:
Jesus, thank you for forgiving me for everything I have done or not done. Father, I receive your love now because that is who you are. Holy Spirit, help me to keep myself in the love of Christ and to give love and forgiveness to others freely. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
