July 29

Esther 5 - 6

"But all this gives me no satisfaction as long as I see that Jew Mordecai sitting at the king's gate."

Haman's hatred of Mordecai is shaping his life. He tells his family of all that he has, how well his life is going, but it is meaningless because of his hatred of Mordecai.

I believe that a large part of why God calls us to forgiveness is what it does for us. If I don't forgive that anger begins to shape my life. Think about this in regards to Haman. He has become the second most powerful person in the Persian empire, yet he can't enjoy this because of his feelings towards one person.

Is there someone in your life that you need to forgive?
