"Harboring Unforgiveness"

"For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." Matthew 6:14-15

Unforgiveness is the single most popular poison the enemy uses against God's people, and it is one of the deadliest poisons a person can take spiritually. Unforgiveness makes us sick because we hold onto and keep an account of people’s wrongs against us instead of forgiving them. As we hold onto them, it leads to other diseases such as bitterness, rage and depression. If we nurse old grudges and refuse to let those grudges go, then we are making ourselves sick. In other words, no matter what happened to you, the original wrong was just a wrong. Perhaps it was a serious offense but that is all there was to it, just the single offense. However when you mull over, meditate and consider that offense for a long period of time, it actually grows in size, spiritually speaking! The more time you spend harboring the wrong, the harder it will be to erase it. Do not let the enemies poison of unforgiveness cause you your blessings. It's time to forgive!
