NEVER

“But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”
Matthew 6:15 KJV

For many years, I hated everyone who had hurt me.  I refused to forgive them.  One day, God took me out to His woodshed and said to me “How dare you ask Me to forgive you when you refuse to forgive the ones who have hurt you?”  What if Jesus had said that He would never forgive us?

We need to remember that none of us are perfect.  There was only One perfect person who ever lived or ever will live and His Name is Jesus.  May God help us to forgive others as Jesus forgave us while still hanging on the cross in agony with the blood flowing down His body and tears in His heart.

Heavenly Father, I am so sorry for the times I have hurt You because I refused to forgive others.  Thank You for loving me even when I hurt You.  I pray for every pastor who is preaching the good news of our risen Saviour.  Please comfort them and encourage them.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
