Crippled ( Matthew 6 v 14 - 15 )

John Lennon wrote a song called 'Crippled inside', one of the verses go,'You can go to church and sing a hymn. You can live a lie until you die.One thing you can't hide,is when  your crippled inside'.I wonder what you think about these words.  What can cripple us inside ?,unforgiveness can most definitely to this, it may surprise us if we only but  knew how crippled many are ,because they are harbouring unforgiveness yes even within the Christian church.It is something that can eat away at us. Take divorce,it is relateivley easy to get divorce,but often what follows is a lifetime of unforgiveness,we remain cripples.We hear that they are bringing in a no blame divorce,but often someone is to blame,there are innocent parties,and they are crippled inside, and often in their conversation,or demeanour  it shows.I want to face you with a choice,a choice that if you make the right choice,you will no longer be crippled inside. , it is summed up in one word, 'Forgive'.When Jesus was lying on the cross,he said these words ,'Father forgive them',
