Forgiveness Failure

One of the important things that we need to confess is the failure to fully forgive others, especially those close to us. And, of course, then fully forgive others, those near and far.

         You think it would be easy for us to forgive. If we think about it for more than two seconds, the Lord Jesus is perfect, the Father is Almighty, the Holy Spirit is holy. And we have wronged God in His perfections, creating a reason for Him to hold our sins against us. But He does not do so. In Christ Jesus, we are forgiven and justified.

         But towards others, we do not justify them, we often justify ourselves. We think they deserve to have this hanging over them because of how much it hurt me. That is not Christ-like. Let it go. Forgive that you might be forgiven.
