Clean out the closet

"...and forgive us our sins as we forgive those who have committed wrongs against us. "  Why did Jesus put this in his pattern for prayer?  Forgiveness is key and is central to the message of Christ.  The only way that we can join the Christ in his heaven and receive the promises of God is to "clean out our closet".  You know, all those bad feelings and all the anger , misgivings and hurt that we put away in the closet, but don't throw away.  Let's not "hoard" old pain to be dealt with another day.  Time for spring/eternal cleaning of the closet of unforgiveness.  Yes, open that dreaded door, and begin to forgive  (sweep out ) everything and everyone who is still in that closet.  Check it off a list if that will bring finality for you. Anger and unforgiveness that linger can change the chemical make up inside you.  You can feel anger when it boils inside your soul.  Let ..it...go. save yourself and your soul.  Pay your ticket for that chariot ride to glory when it's your time.  Prepayment is a good thing. 🙏👏😃😊😘
