Amen! Pastor Michael, I have enjoyed your message. MARK 11:25-26 -- And when ye stnad praying forgive, if ye have aught against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. Yes we must forgive. God grace is sufficient in every situation....
God bless you as you work in His vineyard....
In Christian Love..........

You are right. If we wait to forgive someone when it "feels right" we will never forgive them. One of the thoughts that I have used in helping people to be able to forgive others is helping them to understand that they cannot control what others do to them... the only thing that they can control is their response to what happens to them.
Our response has so much to do with how we handle difficulty and that is really all that matters in our own life. If we chose to forgive, we find victory. if we chose not to forgive, we have defeated our own selves. That is why I believe God tells us to rejoice in everything and to be thankful to God for everything. Prayer thanksgiving (which in cludes praying for people who despitefully use and abuse you) makes a proound diference in the quality of life that we have and this is God's will concerning our lives!!!
