If you forgive men their Trespasses, ~ Raul Ries

Forgiveness = Healing

“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also
forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither
will your Father forgive your trespasses.”
Matthew 6:14-15

  

Often, when we are hurt, we hold a grudge and become bitter and resentful. When we do this, we sin and block God’s work in our healing process. A lack of forgiveness blocks our prayers as well.

How do we forgive someone who has deeply hurt us? We forgive them in the same way that the Lord has forgiven us. God has forgiven us a huge list of offenses, how can we not forgive another human being?

Thought for the Day:
It is important to forgive those who have offended you in order
to stay in fellowship with the Lord and to receive His healing touch.
