Colossians 3:13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

One of the most difficult sin to repent from is an unforgiving attitude. It's scary that most people are still plagued in their sin because their lack of forgiveness has deprived them of God's mercy.

Jesus said " But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses"(Matthew 6:15 ).

Brethren, forgiveness is a commandment from God and He knows we can forgive, for the Almighty God can't ask us to do what we are not capable of doing.

For us to forgive, we must be ready to forbear one another. In the world, people will always offend us. In fact, offense is as normal as breathing.

With the grace to forbear, we can relate with people without being offended, irrespective of how offensive they are.

We are commanded to forgive others as Christ forgave us. Take a stand today, get rid of the grudges, that you may enjoy forgiveness from God.

Let's pray together.
Dear Lord, thank you for forgiving us lo these years. Please help us to forgive others and be at peace, in Jesus name. Amen.
