If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins. (Matthew 6: 14-15 NLT)

My grandson, Miles, reminded me of this scripture recently. Forgiveness is a choice, not a feeling. The following scriptures also help me to REST in God's Promise of forgiveness.

1. Remember: "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).

2. Exalt: "Let all that I am praise the LORD; may I never forget the good things he does for me. He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases" (Ps. 103:1).

3. Surrender: Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing ..."(Luke 22:34)

4. Trust: "I am teaching you today—yes, you— so you will trust in the LORD" (Proverbs 22:19).
