If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.
Matthew 6: 14-15

The Kingdom of God has a foundation based entirely upon love. In fact, Heaven is going to be a place eternally filled with love. So, any time we refuse to act in love and forgiveness, we are rejecting God’s Kingdom. Wow! That is startling, but true.

God’s great love that is expressed through grace and mercy should change our hearts to also express grace and mercy. Love is not selfish, love is always giving, that includes forgiveness.

LIVE, LOVE, FORGIVE! REPEAT!

Prayer:

Father,

          Thank You for Your love and forgiveness. Forgive us for all the times we have not followed Your example. Give us Your strength to do so from now on. Father, give us clean hands and pure hearts so that we can properly portray You to a lost and dying world. Let them know we are Christians by the love we show and share. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
