       It’s like when Peter talked about the husband’s prayers being blocked when he is mad at his wife. Well, it’s no different in our fellowship with God and unforgivness. The truth is that no one on the face of the earth deserves our forgiveness. Did you ever think about that? Likewise, no one on the face of the earth should, in reality, have to forgive us. That being said, we know that because of the world we currently live in, offense is going to occur. We know that we each have accumulated a huge deficit in front of God. We have offended God greatly, in many ways. Yet, we know that God has decided to forgive us completely and entirely. So, in view of that, we can follow his example. We, in the same way, can forgive our fellow person and do it as a ‘gift.’ The person doesn’t deserve it, and yet we can choose to bestow our kindness upon him or her just as if we were giving them a present, free of charge. This, I believe, eases the mind.
