forgiveness

An unforgiving heart blocks the free flow of God’s grace.

Forgiveness towards others is obedience towards God. Hurt feelings are not the issue unless you want to live a self-centered life. The core issue is about loving God more than yourself so that you choose against self to obey His will. Jesus said, “Forgive.” It is a will choice just like Jesus said, not as I will, but as you will (Matt. 26:39). In prayer, by an act of your will, speak to your Heavenly Father that you forgive whomever—by name—for their sin against you and ask Him to bless them (Matt. 6:43-46). This act of obedience pleases God, releases your soul from wrong attitudes and delivers you from the devil’s grip. This opens your heart to the free flow and experience of God’s grace. Father and child once again can walk together.
