Unforgiveness

Prayer Minute #0048
Matt 6:14-15

Have you ever heard that one thing leads to another and there is no stopping it? Sounds like it could start a never ending cycle.

This a cycle can develop from unforgiveness. Unforgiveness can cause a critical attitude which can foster more unforgiveness starting the cycle over again. As the cycle continues, bitterness creeps in, and other negative things may develop. All of this started with unforgiveness. If we choose not to forgive, the behavior will likely continue.

Now if we choose to forgive, forgiveness can break the cycle and with that cycle broken, it can bring us the freedom that God wants us to have. When we forgive, God is able to work and bring positive change.

The Bible says in Mark 11:25 "And when ye stand praying, forgive” Let’s do it.

Father, help us to forgive others from the heart. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
