How can we not forgive?

So what is up today? Well…I was reading in Matthew (6 and 18) how if I can’t forgive others then God can’t (or won't) forgive me…that was pretty powerful…like, yeah, one of my friends has wronged me…but that doesn’t mean I can’t forgive them.

I have wronged Jesus a lot…I have done many sins that have broken His heart and hurt Him a lot, but He has forgiven me. In comparison to my great sins against Jesus, my friend has only sinned against me a little…I feel that if God has it in His power to forgive me then I have it in my power to forgive others…even more than that, I realized that I was being the servant who walked out of the king’s presence, forgiven with God’s grace just poured out over me, and then went and found my fellow servant to beat them and get my money back that they owed me!

I want so badly to have the grace for those around me…I have been forgiven of much, now I want to forgive much!
