The foundation of my relationship with God is prayer, but the essence of my relationship with God is forgiveness. I am only in this relationship, only able to pray to him, because he has forgiven me of so much. And therefore, how can I be in a relationship defined by forgiveness, if I am unforgiving. If I’m holding forgiveness out from someone who doesn’t deserve it, why should God forgive someone like me—who, for the record, doesn’t deserve it. Who do you need to forgive. Its not just your relationship with them that might improve, its your relationship with God that will.
