Forgiveness

Matthew 18: 34 – 35

In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.

"This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart."

I meet people fairly often, who refuse to forgive the person who offended them.

Sometimes the offense is relatively minor, that needs to be forgiven.

In any case, it seems as though Jesus takes forgiveness, and the offering of it, pretty seriously.

“Tortured”, is a pretty strong word, don’t you think?

If the One who represents unbridled love, uses that kind of language, I guess He must mean business relative to forgiveness.

Has the Holy Spirit identified anyone you need to go to?

Forgiveness has to come from the heart, and unless it does, it could be considered a big waste of time.

Do what’s right, before our Heavenly Father does what He thinks is right………
