God is talking to me about unforgiveness. It has been pervasive in our family – and country and world, for that matter.
When we retain sins, they are retained. When we forgive, they are forgiven. If we dont forgive, neither are we forgiven.
Forgiveness releases you from the judgment of your sin or actions.
If I do not forgive you, I retain your sin, and you are open to the judgment of that sin coming upon you. Whether it is Haiti, New Orleans or Jordan Stein, there is a great need for mercy and grace. Forgive and release the judgment.
Kindness leads to repentance.
This is a massive deal.
God, I forgive EVERYONE who has wronged me, sinned against me or harmed me.
LORD, show them mercy. Show them grace. Just as You have shown to me, show to them.
