Recently, there are some problems in my home. I realised that unforgiveness can do much hurt to a person. Unknowingly the person was locked in his/her own anger, bitterness, resentment that would imprisoned him/her.
Forgiveness does not come easy especially when we are hurt by our loved ones. However, the Bible instructs us to forgive as the Lord forgave us. In Matthew 18:21-22 Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
We forgive by faith out of obedience based on the word of God i.e. trusting God to do the work in us that needs to be done so that forgiveness will be complete. God honours our commitment to obey Him and our desire to please him when we choose to forgive.
The following verse is always an encouragement. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. When we learn to give thanks always, we will not allow ourselves to be imprisoned by all these unhealthy emotions.

Hallelujah. God is our Repairer of Breach. Because He is the Lord in your house, there will be harmony, unity and peace for Jesus is the Prince of Peace. Amen
