Forgiveness

And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins. "……………………………..Mark 11:25

Good morning Lord. Today it seems that whenever my sincere efforts are taken for granted I become alarmed and defensive. Most of the time as a result I become profane and unforgiving concerning the people that are involved. It is difficult to remove unforgiveness because I take it so personally.

Lord I know the word in my heart tells me that love is kind, you are love, it is not boastful or proud, it is unconditional, it is not self seeking or is it easily angered. (1 Corinthians 13) Why then do I feel so deflated when the opposite of these occurs in me?

Lord I know the answer rest in you. You are the Living water. I pray your spirit that it may encourage me towards your will and not my flesh. It is very difficult without your spirit. Holy Spirit guide me into an atmosphere of love that the image present and available to me will embelish your Kingdom which is near. (Matthew 4:17) For you Jesus is the glory forever and ever. Amen
