Forgiveness

Matthew 5

14 “If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. 15 But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.”


Forgiveness is the key. The question I wrestle with is: does forgiveness include giving trust back to the one who has wronged you? Trust has to be earned. I can forgive, but I tend to be an at-arms-length kind of guy to those who have broken trust. Again, especially regarding a family situation and the untold financial and emotional damage done to my Dad. I pray every day to have the forgiveness of God in my heart towards those who not only have wronged me, but especially to those who have wronged my Dad. Please pray for me in this regard as well.
