Focus: The Unforgiving Heart

WORD FOR TODAY
Every man who exhibit unforgiveness for any reason does not know God. There is no man who gives room for bitterness in his heart that doesn't fall short of the grace of God!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled" (Hebrew 12:15 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God is not and can never be the source of bitterness in the heart of a man. Bitterness comes into a man's life through disobedience to God's principle and pride. When bitterness becomes a tool in God's hand, it is to let us know as His children that something is wrong with us.

Unforgiveness is hatred. It is like taking poison but expecting someone else to die. John R. Rice stated that "Unforgiveness is choosing to stay trapped in a jail cell of bitterness, serving time for someone else’s crime. C.S. Lewis stated that "To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you."
 
Every true child of God does not have an unforgiving heart. It is a sign of perdition or eternal condemnation when you finds it difficult to forgive others their sin against you. Pride is the main reason for people to hold grudges. Don't fall short of God's grace and blessing because of what someone did to you, free your heart and make it conducive to receive God's bless.
