What's in your your heart?

True forgiveness has to come from somewhere at some point in time. I believe that true forgiveness will not come until we have truly cleansed our hearts. When we harbor feelings for our wrong doers in our hearts, we allow feelings of hatred to truly over take our lives. We allow feelings of our past to control our present enabling us to move on with our lives. We hold grudges against people for the things that they have done to us, when in fact these people have moved on to live their lives  They may have never given a second thought to the harm they caused, but we have allowed what ever took place to control the out come of our lives. Some may even ask, "why should I forgive them after what they did to me"? I say because forgiveness will set you free. On top of that, we serve a God that is forgiving. We make mistakes on a daily bases and some of those mistakes are ones that will send us straight to hell. BUT GOD!! He forgives us without stipulations. So I would like for us to take the time to think...

   Is unforgiveness keeping you from living? Are you holding things in your heart that is controlling how you live?
