2 Chronicles 7:14  If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Concerning forgiveness, three important points that Paul brought to our attention this morning:                                     

    *I must forgive others because God has forgiven me

    *I must forgive others because no offense can be beyond forgiveness.

    * I must forgive others because unforgiveness is too costly.  

“Forgiveness is the fragrance the flower leaves on the heel that crushed it.” Mark Twain
