FORGIVENESS

"And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."

Mark 11:25
King James Version

How dare you and I go to our Heavenly Father and ask Him to forigve us when we aren't willing to forgive others. Jesus has given us a commandment, It is not an option. He has commanded us to love one another as He loves us.

We read in the Bible. "This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you." (John 15:12). Can you honestly say you always love others as Jesus loves us? I can't say that. Three are times when I allow unforgiveness to remain in my heart. However, as soon as I realize it is there I tell God I'm sorry and ask Him to forgive me.

If you have allowed unforgiveness to remain in your heart, you are hurting our Heavently Fahter and breaking His heart. Tell God you're sorry for hurting Him and ask Him to forgive you.
