Why is our Mind Tortured?

There may be a time in your life that you remember being tortured in your mind. A thought running through it constantly that will not leave. The thought brings distress and sometimes sickness and disease in the body.

The scripture suggests that unforgiveness can actually bring torture into our lives. The word emphasizes so many times and in different ways how important it is to forgive.

“Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?’ And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him. So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.”  Matthew 18:32-35  NKJV

We must maintain a pure heart toward God.
