Matthew 6:14-15
‘‘For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.’’

Unforgiveness will have you stressing about things; it will have you losing sleep; it will have you not eating properly; and will even cause you to avoid going to certain places for fear that the person might be there when you arrive. Unforgiveness can put you in a box that can be difficult to get out of, if you stay there too long!
I don’t know about you, but I do know that I’ve done some things that God is not pleased with and am so thankful that He not only forgives, but He forgets too! I would be in very bad shape if God avoided me and made it a point not to be in the places I find myself. I think it woul ...
