Forgiveness: A Lesson Learned

John 20:23: "If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”
One wise teacher once taught me that harboring unforgiveness is like standing before the one that has wronged you and not allowing God to pass through to deal with the person. The same teacher went further to say in the process, you also deny yourself an opportunity to heal.  I've shared this lesson  many times but today as a friend shared this scripture with me, it hit me like a tone of bricks. I need to forgive. Not only because others can hold me to my past sins but I can't imagine being responsible for another person dragging through life with past sins hanging over their head. I definitely wouldn't want to be that person that condemns another's life to a hell-like existence on earth.  So today, I choose to forgive anyone that has ever wronged me and I pray that I will always strive for forgiveness in my lifetime. After-all, how can I say I walk in love if I fail to forgive my brother?   

God Bless.
