Mark 11:25 (NKJV) 25 “And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.
Forgiving someone is something we all face from time to time. It’s a step we have to take.
Some have to forgive their parents for things that happened to them when they were a child, and they had no control over the things that happened to them. But the memory is there and it’s hard to move on and let go.
Some have to forgive themselves for things they participated in, not knowing at the time that it was wrong. They went ahead and did it, only to learn now it was not the right thing to do.
Some have to forgive their spouse, for hurtful words and painful things they have done to them, and continue to love them and not hold a grudge toward them.
Some have to forgive their children for things they deliberately did to them to make them angry and bring shame on their family.
Some have to forgive their Pastor, Priest, or Minister, etc., for mistakes they have made.
Some have to forgive their very close friend that they trusted with all their personal information and that person took it and spread it to others.
These are just a few things that might hit home. Let God work on helping us to pinpoint the unforgiveness in our hearts.
We need to be free from it. Life is beautiful and we can’t be holding on to this stuff any longer.
It takes more work to hold onto something like this than it does to just give it over to God and let Him help with it.
