       “Then his master summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. And should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?’ And in anger his master delivered him to the jailers, until he should pay all his debt. So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart” (32-35, ESV). Ah, ha! Here lies the answer. Have you ever had a day when you just can’t seem to get over a troubling thought that keeps reoccurring in your mind, and it involves something someone has done against you? (or something you perceive someone has done against you?). Perhaps you’ve prayed to God about it throughout the day, but you can’t seem to overcome the thoughts in your head. You forget about it for a while, but then it seems to come back to you at no moments notice. When this happens, chances are you have unforgiveness in your heart toward the person who has offended you. God has released you to the tormentors, as the the King James version puts it.
