* Added: To forgive one another means to FORGET and let go of all ill feelings. Just as Our Father forgets our sins from the East to the West. Are we better than HE?
What does the bible say about forgiving? I will post some scripture below. I first would like to speak a little on forgiving and asking to be forgiven. I have sinned a lot in my life. I have hurt our heavenly Father and I have hurt others. I have asked Father to forgive me for the sins of my eyes, ears, mind, heart, tongue and flesh. I have been forgiven by my Father, I no longer am reminded of my sins. Father knows my heart and the fruits of my labor and HE knows I am sincerely sorry for hurting HIS children.
I will however reach out to those that feel I have hurt and ask them to forgive me. I am going through a personal experience right now where hatred, anger and un-forgiveness is destroying a family to a point of no return to what it once was. When we become one with the Father times like this hurt us deeply. We do not want to see this or hear of such dissension. I pray all families heal with the love of Yahshua in their hearts. This healing starts with forgiving as we ask Father to forgive us.
The words spoken one to another are not words of love. They are cruel, vicious, accusatory and vulgar at times. This ought not to be. This is not what love it suppose to be. We all sin against one another. We all have faults. We must FORGIVE and REPENT asking forgiveness and forgiving with our whole hearts. Was this not Yahshua's message? The two greatest commandments speak it all.
Yet, we hold onto grudges and we hold onto power, control, anger and hatred. Why? How does this edify one another? These feelings are not of Yahweh. They are not from our heavenly Father. They are from the enemy. He is causing much division among all people. Families are divided, the "church" is divided, believers are divided. Where is the love? Where is unity? We are here to serve Yahweh not ourselves.
I mean this sincerely when I say I hate no one. I forgive all people. I want nothing but blessings of good health and most importantly freedom in Yahshua for all people. I could NOT feel this way on my own. I do not have the ability to feel such love and forgiveness. I was blessed by Yahweh to have HIS peace within me.
I ask all who read this to please stop and reflect on truth. Seek out the truth in your hearts and ask Father to help you to right what is wrong in your heart. We must REPENT and follow Yahshua. We must forgive others to be forgiven by our heavenly Father. The enemy has come to destroy that what Yahweh has asked of us.
May today be a day of reflection for all of us. To all those I have hurt. I am deeply sorry. Please forgive me. Please read the scriptures below.
Numbers 14:19-21
In accordance with your great love, forgive the sin of these people, just as you have pardoned them from the time they left Egypt until now." The LORD replied, "I have forgiven them, as you asked. Nevertheless, as surely as I live and as surely as the glory of the LORD fills the whole earth,

Matthew 18:21-35
Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?" Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times." "Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him.Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt. The servant fell on his knees before him. 'Be patient with me,' he begged, 'and I will pay back everything.' The servant's master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go. "But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He grabbed him and began to choke him. 'Pay back what you owe me!' he demanded. "His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, 'Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.' "But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could

But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back.

"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." ... How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death,and of faith in God, instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. And God permitting, we will do so.
Hebrews 10:16-23
This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds."Then he adds: "Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more."And where these have been forgiven, there is no longer any sacrifice for sin. Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives. In Yahshua with love,
