Exodus 32:12
12 Why should the Egyptians say, 'It was with evil intent that he brought them out, to kill them in the mountains and to wipe them off the face of the earth'? Turn from your fierce anger; relent and do not bring disaster on your people.
The Egyptians feared the power of the God of Israel. They told the people of Israel that their God would bring disaster upon them.
Foolishness. Out of their own anger, the Egyptians tried to deprive the Israelites of their God, and their freedom. Truth is that anger will always be a barrier to freedom.
You see, Moses might have been angry at the Egyptians from doing such, but God asked him to turn from that anger, and instead embrace and love the people in order to move them out of their situation.
We all have anger welling up, and it will hide the truth from us. It creates a barrier between us and God. Your unwillingness to forgive will cause you sorrow. Especially if you take communion without forgiveness in your heart, you bring disaster upon yourself. That means you cannot be one with God when you have not forgiven those who have hurt you. Most people don't know that, but it's biblical.
