God favors you! Every day you should experience the approval, benefits, and blessings of your salvation. When you don't see the consistent favor of God at work in your life, it's time to do a forgiveness check. Check out what hinders favor and the three simple steps to remove every hindrance, so you don't miss God's favor.

Scripture Gem: "Be in agreement with one another. Do not be proud; instead, associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own estimation." ~ Romans 12:16 HCSB

This passage in Romans 12:16 holds wisdom as simple as ABC on how to practice extending forgiveness to others. This scripture gem teaches us that we must A. agree, B. seek, and C. think to remove barriers to favor in our lives.

A. Agree

Favor means forgiveness. When we are operating in unforgiveness, self-pity, holding on to offenses in our heart, or blame God for something that happened to us then we are hindering the flow of favor in our life.  To begin the process of seeing favor flow in our lives and start forgiving we agree that whatever was done to us or whatever we did to another person is a sin.    

Reflection: What are some wrongs that you have encountered in your life, that you are ready to begin the process of letting go of through forgivingness?

Everyday Wisdom: So, every time I want to forgive I: AGREE with God that sin is wrong.

B. Seek

Jesus demonstrated for us how to live in complete humility. Therefore, we imitate Christ by seeking God to heal everything in us affected by offenses and wrongs committed by us and others. Seek God's love to help you know the beginning steps to take to fully let go of past wrongs.

Reflection: Pray and ask God for more of His love to be deposited into your heart. Ask God what the first step you should take to fully begin to forgive the wrongs you identified in the first reflection question is.

Everyday Wisdom: So, every day: SEEK more of God's love to forgive completely!

C. Think

After you forgive someone, then you want to start thinking the thoughts of God concerning that person and situation. Think God's thoughts by releasing blessings on others.

Reflection: What are some blessings that I can use to speak over others and myself?  

Everyday Wisdom: So, after I forgive I: THINK thoughts of blessings towards others.  

Put these steps into practice every day, and you will remove every barrier to consistent favor in your life.
