 then you don't have a forgiving heart. God not only wants to forgive us our sins, but He wants us to have a forgiving heart. I can tell you this, if you don't, if you hold that offense in your life, if you hold on to it and nurture it and cuddle it and make it yours, you will lose your joy and you'll gradually become a bitter person. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.
