Did you know you were born a prisoner? We were born of the devil and therefore are prisoners of sin. John 8:34-36 - "Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. 36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” We are all sinners in need of a Saviour!

God’s Word tells us to forgive. Ephesians 4:32 - “And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.”
Philippians 4:13 - “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
It isn’t through your power or strength that you can truly forgive, it is through HIS.
