This is taken from the book I'm reading, The Power Of A Praying Teen.
It's extremely easy to have unforgiveness toward family members. That's because they are with us the most, know us best, and can hurt us the deepest. But for those very same reasons, unforgiveness toward one of them will bring the greatest devestation to our lives. That's why forgiveness must start at home.
...
It's your responsibility to confess any unforgiveness to God and ask Him to help you forgive completely and move on with your life.
...
Remember that forgivine someone doesn't depend on that person admitting their guilt or apologizing to us. If it did, most of us would never be able to forgive anyone. We can forgive no matter what the other person does.
...
..... I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
Matthew 18:21-22
...
When you forgive others, it shows God how much you love Him. It opens your heart and mind and frees you to experience God's love in greater measure. It releases you to move in to all He has for you.
I find that it is a struggle for me to forgive some people...
I am still trying and praying about it.
