FORGIVENESS IS DIVINE

Do we have the slightest hint of unforgiveness in our
hearts? Is there a lingering resentment over hurts and
disappointments of which we just can't seem to let go?
Human nature tells us if we forgive someone who
wrongs us, it is like telling them what they did was all
right. How can we, as Christians accept the forgiveness
of God after the ungodly and sinful things we do that
grieve God so much, and then withhold that same
forgiveness to someone who wrongs us on some
 or situation. Before we can receive the unearned grace
of God's forgiveness for our own sins and wrongdoings,
we must forgive those who sin against us.


Heavenly Father, help us to examine ourselves so that
we might rid ourselves of any unforgiveness that lingers
within us. We are in awe of the forgiveness you have
given us after we were so ungodly toward you. Help us
to see that it is all the more reason we must forgive those
who sin against us. We pray in Jesus's name. Amen.


Read Matthew 6:14


"For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your
heavenly Father will also forgive you." (NIV)


"For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly
Father will also forgive you." (KJV)
