Let it go! This is easier said than done. Some have the problem of failing to confront, while others have a problem forgiving. Some have both! Forgiveness refreshes like a cool drink on a hot day. Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. Today’s reading emphasizes how important it is to forgive. We saw how quickly the forgiven servant forgot. He not only grabbed the other man by the throat, but had him thrown in jail. He had to pay for that. If we expect the Lord to forgive us, we must do the same to others who wrong us. It is in our best interest to forgive, since we usually hurt ourselves more than the person who has offended.
