Un-forgiveness is a seed that grows into bitterness. It is like a cancer that will eat away at an otherwise happy man or woman. Those roots of bitterness go deep and are very painful, shattering every vestige of peace. But most importantly the Word says that if we forgive the people who have hurt us and made us angry, he will also forgive us. Matthew goes on to say that if we don’t forgive men their trespasses, our Heavenly Father will not forgive us. That is a strong word from the Lord, because he knows the unhappy life that can result in un-forgiveness. If we are in pursuit of the Lord and want to be like him, we need to take a good look at his character. He is gentle, kind, and full of mercy. Most of all, he is full of love and forgiveness. So whatever it is that you have been holding on to, let it go. Invite the Lord to pull that root of bitterness out . It is then that you will find true happiness. Let this be a day of forgiveness.
