Forgive others, and your offense will be forgiven

Unforgiveness is the dirty weed in place to poison us from the inside out. Yes you were wronged, yes it hurt bad, yes they should be punished. But with the Lord’s help we can be freed from unforgiveness, it’s one of Satan’s favorite tools he uses against us. Satan will stir up some trouble in another person’s heart and mind, and then send that person to you, who was minding your own business, dropping a serious offense in your lap. Could have been a physical fight, a sexual assault, a bold face lie to you, or someone stole something or someone from you of great importance, basically you’ve been presented with malicious intent and action. Now, you have two options for responding. You could continue holding on to the offense unto bitter unforgiveness, or pull that weed out of your life, which isn’t always that easy thing to do. Without the Lord’s help, in some cases, the offense done to you, could wind up taking you straight to hell. Isn’t that a switch, you were mistreated and because you couldn’t let it go, you get punished. Long term unforgiveness brings sickness in your body. We were never created to handle great stress, or holding on to an offense to the point it controls our life. It’s all you talk about all the time, not a good look for you. Forgive them, so God can forgive you. Being a christian requires living a christian life.
