FORGIVENESS

WE ALL SUFFER from MANY HURTS and DISAPPOINTMENTS daily. Some become lodged in our memories only to fester and grow into unhealthy emotions. If they are not dealt with immediately they become roots of unforgiveness that will lead to bitterness, resentment, and deep hurt.

These emotions, in turn, will produce an offspring of cancer and arthritis.

Forgiveness is the key element in healing relationships, your spirit and emotions.

A favorite Pastor of mine said,"
"Forgiveness empties the pain from your heart."

That is probably why Father God said to forgive.
And Jesus prayed,

"Father forgive them for they know not what they do."

"For thou LORD are good and ready to forgive, and abundant in loving kindness to those who call on you," (Psalm 86:5).

Unforgiveness is a sin. Matthew 6:14-15 & Matthew 18:21-35.

Likewise, in Psalm 103:1-4, it says,

" He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases;...

First there is the sin, then there is the disease.

Forgiveness is an act of the will. You must choose to forgive. Then repent and ask the LORD's forgiveness for harboring anger, resentment, bitterness, retaliation, etc.. Then your release and healing will come.

Everyone needs to be forgiven; even you! And especially me!!
