NEVER FAIL TO FORGIVE
Matthew 6:12
Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
When I was a teenager, I disobediently took my father's car out for a joy ride when he wasn't at home. Unfortunately, I ended up running the car off a country road into a ditch. I went to him and said, "Dad, I've got to tell you I feel terrible about what I did,. I was wrong, deceitful, dishonest. I knew better than to to that. I'm sorry, and I want to ask you to forgive me." He said, "You are forgiven - but you will pary for the car."
Now - when I damaged my father's dar did I cease to be my father's son? No. But my relational forgiveness was in deep trouble. If you want to know the oneness with the Lord in your daily relationshipo with Him, if you want to feel the reality of your forgiveness when you pray to God, don't hold grudges agasint others and fail to forgive htem. You can't come to God and expect to enjoy His forgiveness of your sins while you have not confessed your own sin of unforgiveness and forgiven your brother. If you want to know the daily sense of your forgiveness in you walk with the Lord, then you must forgive those who have wronged you.
