THE AMAZING BENEFIT IN FORGIVENESS

Prayers and forgiveness have a link.
Matthew 6:12 which is part of the Lord's prayer shows us this.
God's dealing with us has a lot to do with how we treat other people.

Prayer works by love, and forgiveness is an aspect of love.
If we are going to move to the next level of our lives and spiritual growth we will have to pass the forgiveness test. Psalm 105:19

Jesus included forgiveness in His prayer because our ability to forgive others has a lot to do with us receiving from God.
It takes maturity to forgive, and love is that which is mature. 1 Corinthians 13:11
Jesus showed the ultimate love when He forgave those who crucified and were mocking Him.
 Luke 23:34

Forgiveness is the best way to rise above hatred and bitterness.
If we
It's popularly said, to "err is human, to forgive is divine".Forgiveness is a divine quality we chose to operate in, in obedience to God.
Forgiveness is not an easy thing but it is a choice we will have to make while on this earth.
Job passed the forgiveness test before God gave Him double restoration. Job 42:9
Joseph forgave His brothers, today he is a sterling example of forgiveness is the old testament. Genesis 50:17
Jesus knew we will have to forgive here on earth. It's not possible to journey through this world and not be offended or upset by people at one time or the other. We will also 'step on people's toes' at one time or the other in our journey through life because human beings are created for relationship and as long as we are on earth we will have to have things to do with one another. Matthew 18:21, 22
Forgiveness is a mature choice we make knowing God our heavenly Father also forgives us of our sins.

You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out.
