When we asked forgiveness from God it was for our own good....same thing when we need to forgive others.....it's for our own good. We can't be healed,never really move toward wholeness, we will never really get on with our lives until we are able to let go of the resentment,until we can give up gaining revenge...and forgive. When we have been wronged, we need to look at who God is, and what God has done for us. How far am I to go with this forgiveness ?.......How far has God gone with you?............. We are to forgive them. Not because of who they are or what they have done; but because of who God is, and what God has graciously done. Take a look at Matthew 6, verse 12. Right in the middle of the Lord's Prayer is a prayer that you and I, if we are not careful, just pray as a motion when we say the Lord's Prayer. ***Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors***. We are asking God to treat us, to forgive us, exactly the way that we deal with other folks who have wronged us.
Father, please forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. In Jesus name. Amen.
