The Ministerial Alliance Minute

By Pastor Tim Abshire Sr, Lighthouse Church, Winnie

  I have talked to so many that tell me they have people in their lives that they can’t forgive. I had that same problem years ago.   

  I was working for a company and was accused of saying something that was totally untrue. The company I worked for figured it would be easier for them to take me off of that job instead of standing behind me. I was totally cut to the heart even though I tried to hide it.   

  I had so much unforgiveness for this company. I couldn’t find it in my heart to forgive them. I found that in this circumstance I had to pray this prayer.    

  ” Lord I can’t find it in my heart to forgive these people. I will forgive them out of obedience to your word and you will have to change my heart.”   Mathew 6:14-15 14. “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.    

  We must also find the path to forgiving ourselves .
