MARK 11:25-26 25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
You have to forgive others. Regardless of what they've done. It is God's instruction. But it was provided in our favor.
You suffer from not forgiving. Not forgiving is like eating poison every day. It will ruin you.
When we are standing in prayer, Jesus instructs we should forgive. Therefore, we don't need to wait for others to apologize. Nor does it take a long time to forgive.
It's impossible to feel forgiven. It is a choice to let go of anger toward someone. When we forgive someone, we must forget them and let it go.
You could believe that forgiving someone who has seriously harmed you is impossible. God makes it possible. He never asks us to accomplish anything that we are unable to do.
LUKE 6:35 35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
Whatever we give out will be returned to us in equal measure. If we want God and other people to have mercy on us and forgive us, we must also forgive and have mercy on others.
Only forgiving those who have slightly harmed us is insufficient. Everyone must be forgiven!
MATTHEW 18:21 21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times?
Jesus certainly wasn't putting a limit on how many times we should forgive. He chose an unbelievably high number so that we would understand that He intended for us to forgive without limit —just as He forgives us.
LUKE 23:33 33 And when they came to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
Jesus provided us with the best example of forgiveness by forgiving those who mocked and crucified Him. But this level of forgiveness is undoubtedly outside the realm of what is common for humans. It takes God's power to do it. The love of God inside us gives us access to that power when we are reborn.
EPHESIANS 4:32 32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
As God has forgiven us, we are called to forgive others. God's help is required for that.
COLOSSIANS 3:13 13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man quarrels with any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
It is a must. We must forgive others as He forgave us if we want God's blessing and fellowship.
SAY THIS WITH FAITH: I will forgive, with God's help.
