The Freedom of Forgiveness
Matthew 6:14-15
Matthew 6:14-15
“For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”
Insight
Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. It chains you to the past and gives your offender continued power over your emotional state. Jesus links our forgiveness from God to our forgiveness of others - not because we earn God's grace, but because truly grasping His forgiveness transforms how we treat those who hurt us. Forgiveness doesn't excuse the wrong or mean reconciliation is automatic, but it releases you from bitterness's prison.
Reflection
Is there someone you're holding unforgiveness toward? What would it cost you to forgive? What is unforgiveness already costing you?
