You Must Forgive


To forgive may be one of the hardest things for you to do. Well what I'm about to tell you will make it much easier for you. In Ephesians 4:32 it says: Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.  In John 8:32 it says: Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. We have to forgive just like God forgives us. If we have trusted Christ, we have been freely forgiven for every sin we have ever committed or ever will commit. For this reason we are to freely forgive others. If we have trusted Christ, we have been freely forgiven for every sin we have ever committed or ever will commit.  Also it is not good to keep things bottled up on the inside of you. Did you know that unforgiveness is poison to your body, it causes sickness and even disease. YOU MUST FORGIVE!!!!!!   Hosea 4:6 says: My people are destroyed from the lack of  knowledge. Well here is some knowledge for you… It is not going to happen over night…It is a process. It will take the Word of God, prayer, faith, and belief to help you. You must let it go. First of all you must start with you feelings because your feelings will block you from accomplishing anything.  Pray and seek God to send the right person to help you to get through this.. See with God you can't go wrong. Find you some scriptures that pertain to unforgiveness and meditate on them. You see Jesus set an example for us when he hung on the cross and they talked bad to him, he didn't retaliate. When he suffered, he didn't say a word. We can give up the need to retaliate because we can commit our cause to our heavenly Father.  His Word urges us to "Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, and every form of malice.
It takes a major effort of the will to "forgive each other, just as in Christ God forgave you" because most of the time, we don't feel like forgiving. When we choose with our will to obey God, He will give us the power to do what is necessary. If we won't forgive, bitterness will become firmly entrenched in our characters. It will make us cynical, unable to trust, and unable to maintain close relationships. On the other hand, forgiveness will free us to go on in peace, unhindered in our enjoyment of the Lord. Let's forgive. Let's let go of the past and leave all the paying back to Him.Unforgiveness in the heart of a Christian hinders the answer to his prayers. A grudge, a root of bitterness, or even hate, it may be blocking the answer to your prayers. Seek God so you can free yourself from all that poison. That way you can move forward in Him.
