Forgiveness

Have you ever been treated unfairly? Have you ever been played by another? Or have you ever been made fun of behind your back, by someone who you thought was your friend? It is a hard thing to get over. If you do not watch it, it will fester and grow and then control you. What should we do? The Bible is very clear on this subject. In Matthew 6:14 Jesus says "for if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:". Pastor Hobbins spoke about this very same thing. If we desire for our Heavenly Father to forgive us, we must forgive all those who have done us wrong. I don't know about you, but that is hard. Sometimes the only emotion I can draw out of being hurt is just anger and hatred. I work constantly to forgive those who have wronged me. But I think, 'how many times have I done something to another out of selfishness or pride.' I am just human, like them. Being hurt stinks, but not being forgiven is worse. If I desire to be forgiven then I must do it to others.
