Forgive us our sins...

These words are from the Lords Prayer. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who trespass against us.The Lord's hint to us here is that the forgiveness of our own sins is predicated on our forgiving others.Another significant thing to note here is that all thoughts that one can just pray for anything in accordance with ones whims and caprices cannot be correct. Conditions apply!So before we come before the Lord we need to conduct an internal check up to see whether we are truly worthy to venture an approach.Carelessness in this respect renders all subsequent activity null and void.

Let us remember at all times that the Lord is not mocked.Mockery also involves trying to approach Him in vain. Even praying without a deep inner feeling is utterly irresponsible and should not be done.

May we learnt to forgive our neighbours so that we too in reciprocity can receive true forgiveness.
