Billy Graham Devotions 20th June 2020 – Forgiveness in Marriage
TODAY’S TOPIC: FORGIVENESS IN MARRIAGE
SCRIPTURE: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. — 1 John 1:9
TODAY’S MESSAGE: Billy Graham Devotions 20th June 2020
It is unfortunate in a marriage if there is an array of sordid memories of past sins on the part of either partner. If young people could only realize that a happy marriage depends not only on the present, but upon the past, they would be more reluctant to enter into loose, intimate relations with anyone and everyone. Many a marriage has been imperiled by the backlash of past sins, which were not just confessed, but “found out.”
As to the necessity of confessing past sins to one’s mate, I don’t think it is always advisable or necessary. I have known of homes that were wrecked by such confessions. The main thing is to confess any past wrongs to God, resolve to be true to your marriage vows; and absolve the black past by a spotless present.
No matter what you’ve done, God wants to forgive you.
Prayer for the day: Thank You for forgiving and forgetting the past. Help me to do the same, Lord.
