Jesus spoke these word while telling the disciples how to pray. It makes not forgiving people very scary doesn't it? The only way we can do it is to do it is through Christ Jesus. The last several years I have heard several people say they just couldn't forgive someone.
YOU MUST! Yes, even if they did it intentionally! Yes, even if they did it to your children or grandchildren! Yes, even if they were suppose to be your friends! It doesn't matter why, Jesus died so God could forgive every single thing we ever did to sin against God, but many of us want to believe that it isn't the same thing. According to the scripture it is.
With that said, if I have done anything to you, forgive me. Anything anyone has done to me, I forgive you and if you ask the Lord, He will forgive you as well.
God Bless and have a great 4th of July
This is such an example of the conditions placed within God's word that we so often ignore. So often just the first part is heard and the rest of the verse structure goes by the way. We need to pay simple attention to what God is saying to us.
