It’s Poison

“And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any…”

Mark 11:25

One of, if not the surest way to a life of torment is to be bitter, resentful and unforgiving. We were made in the image and the likeness of God, which also means that we were created to love like Him. To be unforgiving would be foreign to the nature of God, and, although many of us may not be aware of it, it is foreign to our nature as children of God. If you are having trouble in this area, ask the Holy Spirit to help you. I can promise you that He will show you what the Father has done in Christ to forgive you. Once you are able to really see this, it will serve as the basis for you being able to forgive any one who has wronged you in any way.

Scripture reading: Matthew 18:21-35; Ephesians 4:26-5:2
