Forgive and be forgiven .. MATTHEW 6:14-15

I will live forgiven. I will forgive so that I may live. (Mat. 6: 14-15 dplv)

C.S. Lewis once said, "Every one says forgiveness is a lovely idea, until they have something to forgive."

Apostle Paul wrote to the Ephesians and said, "Be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake has forgiven you." Eph. 4:32

"Their is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love." Bryant H. McGill

"Any one can criticize, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving." Dale Carnagie

"We love God, because HE first loved us." 1 John 4:19

With a love that we didn't deserve. He loved the unloveable (Eph. 2: 1-7). How can we not rely on HIS love in us to forgive those who have hurt us?

"You will know that forgiveness has begun when you recall those who hurt you and feel the power to wish them well." Lewis B. Smedes

"Forgive and you will be forgiven." Jesus .. Luke 6: 38
