    About this ebook

    The worst prison in the world is the prison of un-forgiveness. It locks you in the solitary confinement of your mind, bringing to memory every sin you have ever committed; replaying them over and over again, until you feel like you are the worst person in the world and there couldnt possibly be any hope of you ever being free from this mess.
    Suddenly, you have an epiphany and realize that you are the one holding the key that can release you from your self-imposed prison of un-forgiveness and that key is to repent of whatever wrong you have done; forgive yourself; where possible, seek the forgiveness of anyone you may have offended and then ultimately seek forgiveness from God.

      Introduction

      I am amazed at the amount of people who talk about God as if they are the best of friends, when they never spend any time reading his word or talking to him in prayer. It’s like one person telling another person that they love them with all of their heart, yet they can never find quality time to spend with the person they claim to love so much. They operate strictly on their feelings. If they feel good today, God is the best thing since sliced cheese but if they are having a bad day, then God must have moved away from them. What is their problem? Unfortunately, their feelings vacillate or go back and forth between feeling good and connected to God and feeling bad and being disconnected from God. This boils down to one fact and that fact is that they really don’t have a true relationship with God.

      A true relationship with God takes place when we spend time with Him in prayer and in studying His word. This is not a ‘when I feel like doing it kind of thing,’ but something that we must practice daily, until it becomes a normal part of our lives. Think about it this way. You eat food everyday in order to nourish your body and keep you functioning properly and if you happen to miss a meal, within a few hours, you feel like you are going to pass out if you don’t get something to eat. Well, it’s the same way with the word of God. If you do not study the word of God on a regular and consistent basis, you will be spiritually malnourished and as a result you will end
