FORGIVENESS

"For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."

Matthew 6:14,15
King James Version

How dare you and I go to our Heavenly Father and ask Him to forgive us or do anything for us if we aren't willing to forgive those who hurt us.

None of us are perfect and that includes me. We are only sinners saved through the cleansing blood of Jesus.

Instead of criticizing people, we need to be praying for them. All of us need encouragement. Not only will it help people if we encourage them, it will also make Jesus happy.

Making Jesus happy should be top priority for all of us. Jesus has feelings and it hurts Him when we don't talk to Him. When is the last time you told Jesus you love Him? Have you ever told our Saviour that you love Him? If not, you are hurting Him and breaking His heart.

Jesus should have first place in our heart and in our life. Does He have first place in Your heart? I love You, Jesus, and I long for the day when I will have the privilege of seeing You face to face.
