And when you stand praying, if you
hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may
forgive you your sins."
I have a really big heart, and as crazy as it
sounds, my heart is what gets hurt really easily.
I have a tendency to hold a grudge for a long
time, especially when I have been hurt badly by someone, whether it was
intentional or not.
Therefore this verse to me is one of the most
challenging reminders of God's will in Scripture.
I must forgive others!
When I refuse, it cuts me off the stream of
forgiveness that God so longs to give to me.
While forgiving others is never easy, God has
not only commanded us to do it, He has also given us His Son as an example of
forgiveness.
In addition, He has promised to empower us to
be able to do His will by the power of the Holy Spirit.
The real issue: Will we let go of our
bitterness toward those who have wounded us?
Have a blessed day!
