unforgiveness, a heart disease

The message was unique yesterday at church. It was given by Don Cousins. The topic was unforgiveness.  The Bible passage used in the message was Matthew 18:21-35.  Hearing messages on unforgiveness was not unique but it was unique to me in the strong emphasis on verses 34-35 of the passage. 


"And his lord, moved with anger, handed him over to the torturers until he should repay all that was owed him.
"My heavenly Father will also do the same to you, if each of you does not forgive his brother from your heart."   Jesus
What happens when we do not forgive people who hurt us?  Two things, torture and justice.


The application: take the hurts in my life and the people who caused them and turn them over to God! Forgiveness in this way will result in freedom and mercy.
