B. The factor
C. The factor
Read Matthew 6:2, Matthew 6:14
“Struggling to forgive is not what destroys
us. As long as we are in the flesh, we will do
our good deeds imperfectly, including
forgiving and loving others. Jesus died to
cover those imperfections.
What destroys us is the settled position that
we are not going to forgive and we have not
intention to forgive and we intend to cherish
the grudge and fondle the wrong that
someone did to me and feel the bitterness. It
feels good. I like to go to bed with my wrath at
night because it legitimately wronged me. I
am going to hold this against him the rest of
his life.” – John Piper
