Matthew 6:15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
One of the things which most of us find hard to do is to forgive people who have wronged us in some way!

Matthew 7:3 Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
We have some pretty strange things happening in the world today where many people are judging others because the news channels say so!

God wants us to maintain our own lives first of all before jumping in to try and control others!
