Matthew 6:15 NASB "But if you do not forgive other people, then your Father will not forgive your offenses."It was harder than I thought! Today's Words speaks of forgiveness and how we will be forgiven or not! It was one thing to forgive and another to forget it but when it's a heartfelt forgiveness, it brings a newness to life. The biggest problem I had was forgiving myself. I kept the guilt, the internal punishment for too long. Having hurt those I loved, kept the pain longer. Once forgiven by them, I needed to forgive myself. Satan keeps it alive within us with lies that we somehow are not worth the forgiveness but nothing can be further from the Truth. When forgiven, we must forgive ourselves as well - the only way to move on to new life in forgiveness! Forgive ourselves because of what Jesus did on the Cross and stop carrying the guilt! peace, tom
