The Unforgiving Servant

When we fail to forgive, we forfeit nearness to God. Because we are so preoccupied with and holding onto an offense, it consumes our thoughts and occupies our minds. And when heart and mind space is taken up by unforgiveness, there’s no room for The Lord to move in those spaces. Unforgiveness will torture you. It is to our benefit to forgive others. There is freedom in forgiveness. Letting go of hurts is like running free. Forgiveness is the key to unlocking the chains and baggage that weigh us down.
