that you do not waste the life of that animal

Knife in hand, at the verge of sacrificing a sin offering for your sins in ancient isreal. .
.
If at that very moment you remember any with whom you are not at peace, the instruction was that you do not waste the life of that animal for your plea for Gods mercy *WOULD* *NOT* be heard.
.
“Leave the animal right there at the altar and go make peace before Gods ears would be open in your direction” is the injunction.
.
The logic couldn’t be put any simpler than is laid out in “the Lords prayer”. ‘Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us”
.
Yes! Your very own hands can build the walls that stop all your hard work, all your good deeds and all your frequent plea for Gods forgiveness from going through to him.
.
Forgiveness can be though, especially when you feel the individual hurt you too deep or is undeserving but is anyone worth being a road block between you and divine favors? Not a soul.
.
So, you must forgive. The sheer freedom it grants you personally is worth the effort. Worth the humble pie which you may have to chew for a few mins there.
.
Do it for you. For maximum benefits, refrain from making it a mechanical act of selfishness. Sincerely let it go from the heart and put your attention on the greater things awaiting your receipt from the one who forgives you everyday.
.
So take a second out. Close your eyes and scan. Who must you forgive today? Can you see him/her/them? Please do it NOW!! .

Wishing u all a BLESSED SUNDAY
