Matthew 6:15 (NKJV) 15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Yesterday, I ran into someone I hadn’t seen in a very long time. We were very close friends at one time in our lives. Some hurtful things took place and we became distant.
When I saw this person for the first time, face to face after many years, it was very uncomfortable for me. But the more we talked the easier it became.
When people hurt us, it takes some time for healing to happen. But there comes a time when we may run into that person again and we have to put it behind us and let it go.
That means holding nothing against them. When we see them we don’t associate them with what they did wrong.
God forgives. He does not remember. He doesn’t see our face and connect it with our mistakes. He simply forgives us as we ask Him to. And we need to do the same for those that make mistakes against us.
Forgive.
