great post, word.

To whom much has been given, much is required, eh?  We have been forgiven much, therefore we must forgive others.

Thanks, Tapsel.
I need to be more consistent in my head space. If I'm not careful I start rehashing what was done to me, forgetting that I made a decision to forgive.

No problem, Ariala...
I need to remember that verse more myself.

word.smith, when I feel like something is unforgiveable, I remember that
verse you just mentioned.  Thanks for another good post.  Thought I'd leave a message this time.  I'm not always good at doing that...sorry.

Yes, Quirky

 the benefits far outweight the excess baggage we heft around with us in the form of unforgiveness.

Ariala,
I'm tempted to think of things done to me as unforgivable, until I remember that my sins aren't forgiven until I decide to forgive.

Thanks for this nice post. You've read my many posts on forgiveness so you know how I feel. It is a challenge to achieve true forgiveness, esp. for great wrongdoings, but the payoff is so worth it.

Definitely the one who has made his peace with God. I can't think of
much that's unforgiveable myself.
