Dave continues the series on the Disciples Prayer, this morning his focus is on the section ‘Forgive Us Our Debts’ We have been forgiven Much, if we then hold on to unforgiveness then we live impoverished lives. Unforgiveness hinders the flow of God in our lives. Forgiveness is an imperative, it is a choice we all make. This is the first step and it is our part in the process, if there is to be Reconciliation then this is the other persons initiative, not up to us to start this process. Restoration of the relationship is God’s initiative, and may never happen.
Forgiveness begins with a real understanding of the forgiveness we have received from God.
