Forgiveness


"Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all sins."
(from Proverbs,Chapter 10:12).
"Hate is always picking a quarrel,but love turns a blind eye to every fault."
(from Proverbs,Chapter 10:12, The New English Bible translation).
As Christians we should overlook the sins committed against us.We should also be ready to forgive the hurts,insults and unkindness we've suffered from the words and actions of others.
As He is willing to forgive us,so must we be willing to do so for others.
Our Lord said: "Forgive us our trespasses,as we forgive those who trespass against us."
We all know the frightening consequence of not being willing to forgive those who seek our forgiveness.
He will give us the strength to forgive if we sincerely ask Him.
