Forgiving and Forgiven

And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And do not bring us into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
[For Yours is the kingdom and the power
and the glory forever. Amen.]

For if you forgive people their wrongdoing, your heavenly Father will forgive you as well. But if you don’t forgive people, your Father will not forgive your wrongdoing.

(Matthew 6:12-15 Holman Christian Standard Bible ®©)

What did He mean when He said that if I am not forgiving that I will not be forgiven? My suggestion is that you not wait for it to make sense before you start living it out… The instruction Jesus gave His disciples for prayer included telling them to ask their Father to forgive them the same way they forgave people who sinned against them.

He wants to enable you to do exactly that – forgive the jerks around you in the way you want Him to forgive you. Go ahead – Be awesome.
