Forgive And Be Forgiven

It is not surprising to see many people are finding it hard to move on because they harbor bitterness and resentments in their lives and one way to remove these is through the power of godly forgiveness. There is a feeling of greater joy when a person forgives than the one who has received forgiveness. That's the perfect nature of our all-loving FATHER as whole-heartedly expressed by JESUS in HIS last seven words: "FATHER forgive them for they do not know what they are doing." (Luke 23:34). GOD will always find joy in forgiving HIS people who sincerely repent and make their paths straight as illustrated by JESUS in HIS Parable of the Lost Son (Luke 15:11-32). GOD is capable of forgiving you no matter how grave your sins are and that's the forgiving nature of our GOD (Exodus 34:6-7). If we refuse to forgive others and accept forgiveness, then our prayers and worship are in vain (Matthew 5:23-24).
