Interesting,   question,  I have always wondered about all those v4erses
that say if... the...   forgive us as we...  but what is the reverse then,
if we do not forgive, but wouldn't the love of God eventually bring us to
forgiveness,  as we grow closer to Him  and learn more of his love would we
then be able to forgive those who have deeply hurt us, it wouldn't happen
overnight,  we would feel eventually that because we had been forgiven much,
we would have no right then to hold another to account!
just my crazy mixed  up thoughts,
Rhonda
