Love cannot abide in unforgiveness.
If you want to get close to God then you you’ve got to forgive and become free of any hurts you’ve caused anyone, including God, and that including yourself:
He is, I Am. You are. We are. He and She is.
Love Personified.
Sin separarates us from Love.
In other words, hurting people and blaming people separate us from Love.
The 12 Steps in Alcoholics Anonymous are a great tool for allowing us to achieve access to God’s help. I recommend all of them, but these seven:
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. We’re entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
Steps #4 through #10, are ALL about forgiveness and freeing ourselves from sin.
Absolutely necessary steps if you want God to introduce Himself to you!
To accept all responsibility for the emotional damage you’ve done to yourself and others, seeking God’s forgiveness helps you to forgive others yourself, and to forgive yourself!
God will encourage you to learn from your mistakes and become a better person, sometimes the hard way, because that way we learn better and become people of God.
If you are angry and unforgiving of yourself, you diminish yourself. Which makes it harder to FIND yourself.
When you get to know Him personally, you will find that God being Love puts everything in perspective. This minutiae don’t matter. In truth, nothing matters EXCEPT Love. You Love, and are Loved.
In you is I Am.
The Love that connects you to yourself and to others and even to God himself, IS God Himself.
This is why Forgiveness of you and in you is so critically important if you want to sense God’s Love, and if He chooses, he will turn your ear to hear Him.
Love cannot abide in unforgiveness.
18There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. The one who fears has not been perfected in love.
19We love because He first loved us.
20If anyone says, “I love God,” but hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.
21And we have this commandment from Him: Whoever loves us God must love his brother as well.
John 4:18–21
