Are You Allowing God's Love, Grace, and Mercy To Help You Walk In Forgiveness?

Are you waiting to forgive or are you contemplating whether or not you should forgive?   Are you hold a grudge?  A grudge is a persistent feeling of ill will or resentment resulting from a past insult or injury.

WHAT IF, God contemplated whether or not He should forgive you?   WHAT IF, He chose to wait before forgiving you?  Forgiveness is not always easy but it is something we must choose to do.    Understanding that some things that have happened to us in life make it difficult to forgive.  

Forgiveness is not an easy process.   It immediately requires that you lay down self and laying down self is not an easy thing to do.   We have to understand that our forgiveness is related to our ability to forgive.   The Bible says in Matthew 6 that if we don't forgive others their sins, God will not forgive us.   We can't allow unforgiveness to keep us from being forgiven.  

How often do we go to God and ask God to forgive us?   Because of God's love, grace, and mercy, He is able to forgive us and we have to learn how to extend that same love, grace, and mercy to others.
