Do You Want To Get Well?
John 5:6 “…Wilt thou be made whole?”
That's what Jesus asked this man. For 38 years "his condition" had brought him the sympathy of others. It also gave him the excuse to say, "I'm not responsible." Wrong! All of us are responsible for two things - our attitudes and our decisions! We've all been hurt, but if you're still using it 20 years later, you're not a victim by circumstance, you're a victim by choice. You ask, "What's a victim?" Somebody who thinks that negative attention is better than no attention at all.
Jesus said, "But of ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.” (Mark 11:26). Those words presuppose that somebody has hurt you. They also hold you responsible for your reaction to that person. Jesus said "If you don't forgive, you won't receive forgiveness." Whatever others may have taken from you in the past, if you remain bitter, they'll take even more from you in the future. Maybe you're thinking, "If they'd just come back and ask my forgiveness… Is that what you're waiting for? Don't waste your time! The key to happiness is in your hands, not theirs. That key is forgiveness!
Are you waiting for someone to say "I forgive you" before you can forgive yourself and move on? What if they never do? Here's what you need to do:
(1) apologize;
(2) make amends if you can;
(3) forgive yourself;
(4) move on.
Do you really want to get well? These are the steps! Decide now!

I' VE ALWAYS THOUGHT ABOUT UNFORGIVENESS THIS WAY, ONE DAY I WILL STAND IN FRONT OF GOD AND ALL MY SINS WILL BE WASHED AWAY EXCEPT ONE. I REFUSED TO FORGIVE SOMEONE. BUT BECAUSE OF THAT ONE SIN, GOD HAS TO REFUSE ME THE PRIVELEDGE OF ENTERING HIS KINGDOM. THEN LO AND BEHOLD, AFTER ME COMES THE VERY ONE WHO HURT ME, WHO SINNED AGAINST ME. HE HAD ASKED ME FOR FORGIVENESS, BUT I REFUSED. I'D SHOW HIM!!!! BUT WHAT IS THIS? HE IS WELCOMED WITH OPEN ARMS. I'M CONFUSED. THEN GOD EXPLAINS THAT ALTHOUGH I HAD REFUSED THIS ONE FORGIVENESS, HE HAD NOT. WOW, THAT WOULD JUST BE MY LUCK THAT THE ONE WHO HURT ME MADE IT INTO THE KINGDOM AND MY REFUSAL TO FORGIVE HIM KEPT ME OUT.

VERY POWERFUL THOUGHT CRYSTAL!
Should make us really think...
Really had to deal with a daughter-in-law about this for some time and then she got the Victory...
Jesus made this very plain crystal...
6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Blessings In Him... :o)
