Unforgiveness is not an option

Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?" Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times. Mathew 18:20-21.

Unforgiveness is not an option. It holds us back from God's best for our life. God wants us to forgive others, just as Jesus forgave us when we invited Him into our heart. He wants us to show grace, just as He's shown us grace, and to be merciful, just as He's been merciful to us. When we don't forgive, we give room to resentment, hurt and even bitterness that will steal our peace and can push us away from God. Forgiveness releases you from the pain that others have caused you and allows you to move on with your life and to step into God's best for you. Praise God today that as we choose to forgive others as He forgave us, we can rest in His peace and blessings for our life.
