"and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors;
"If you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions." Matthew 6:12, 14-15
Jesus gives His disciples instruction and He
repeats himself for good reason because He knows what we need to hear. He asks you this morning is there unforgiveness you are holding on to? Are you waiting on someone to say they are sorry before you will approach them. If so then God will hold back as well. Forgiving those closest to us is the hardest. They are the ones who should love us unconditionally but that isn't always the case. What relationships is God bringing to you to examine? It is lent and a time to reflect upon our journey, He knows your heart and so do you. If it hurts that much then give it to Him, ask Him to heal you, then forgive them. Give it away so He can give it to you, Love is a decision not a feeling.
Dear Heavenly Father, I see the pain that we carry around, makes us see the pain we cause others. Help me see where I am blinded by my own righteousness. Heal the wounds of those who are hurt so they can forgive. Teach us Lord and lead us home to You. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Heaven, pray for us.
