Forgiveness changes everything. For example; Stephen when he was about to get stoned asked God to forgive the people and ironically in the mist of the group was Saul- to whom later is Paul, on the road of Damascus(Acts 7:56-8:1). Jesus Christ forgave the people who cruxified Him and it saved one of the thieves that were being cruxified beside Him; as well as a Centurion and others who were watching at the sight(Matthew 27:46-55).

God's unchanging love brings forgiveness of sins; and His everlasting compassion knows no end(Micah 7:18-20). Forgiveness doesn't abolish the sonsequences of what we have done but it puts us right with God.
Everybodys worth forgiveness for it gives each of us who has been forgiven a second chance and God gives that to those of us who have been saved!!!!!! We hold our future in our hands; by the seeds we sow today and forgiving someone will sow a seed of hope in us as well as them.

Look at Romans 4:7, puting our faith in God's forgiveness is the gateway to blessings in our lifes. And now, Mark 2:1-9, the blessings of healing is the result of believing ones sins are forgiven.

I encourage you to think of someone that needs your forgiveness and truely concider for healing will only happen when you learn to forgive.

Forgiveness is conditional. That condition is repentance.

Jesus said, "Unless you repent you will perish."

He told Peter, "When he repents forgive him."
