HOW TO BE FREE FROM THE LACK OF FORGIVENESS?
Part 1

The lack of forgiveness will make you bitter, it will make your life miserable, it will steal your joy, it will steal the happy moments with your family and it will take away your sleep.

Let’s look at three things that the Bible says we can do to be freed from the lack of forgiveness:

1.Leave it to God.
Give up your right to take it out. Trying to take it out only intensifies the conflict. Instead, let God settle the score.
Don’t be one of those who lose their temper, because revenge will bring you consequences. The Bible says:
 “ Hot-tempered people must pay the penalty.…” (Prov. 19:19 NLT)

2. Heal it with grace.
The only way to let go of your pain is to hold onto God’s grace. The Bible says: “Look after each other so that none of you fails to receive the grace of God. Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many.” (Hebrews 12:15 NLT).
Remember that bitterness is contagious.

Think about it:

Do you have a lack of forgiveness in your heart?
What has the lack of forgiveness provoked in you?
What is your part to do in order to be free from resentment?
