Clear your conscience

“Indeed, it is because of this that I make a point of always having a clear conscience in the sight of both God and man.”
Acts 24:16 CJB

This can be real difficult to do at times when people can be mean and evil, saying and doing evil things towards us! We need to be really mindful of what we say what we do and how we react!

“But I tell you that anyone who nurses anger against his brother will be subject to judgment; that whoever calls his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing!’ will be brought before the Sanhedrin; that whoever says, ‘Fool!’ incurs the penalty of burning in the fire of Get-Hinnom!”
Matthew 5:22 CJB

When we hold on to grudges and situations, it really does burn us up inside and makes us angry and bitter! We need to forgive and let go, no matter how hard!

“For if you forgive others their offenses, your Heavenly Father will forgive you.”
Matthew 6:14 CJB

A really good quote from the Talmud for us to follow is: “He who waives his right to retribution is forgiven his sins.” The bottom line is we need to let go of grudges and let God deal with things!
Have a blessed day clearing our conscience of wrong thinking towards men and especially towards God!
