The Poison Within

Charles Spurgeon is believed to have said, our unwillingness to forgive someone for the wrong they have done to us or someone we love is equivalent to drinking poison and hoping the other person dies. Beloved, there is simply no winner in this situation. Forgive, so that you can be forgiven and walk with the freedom that obeying God's Word can provide. Amen

“‘And forgive us our debts, as we have forgiven our debtors [letting go of both the wrong and the resentment].

For if you forgive others their trespasses [their reckless and willful sins], your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others [nurturing your hurt and anger with the result that it interferes with your relationship with God], then your Father will not forgive your trespasses.” MATTHEW‬ ‭6:12, 14-15‬ ‭AMP‬‬
