Matthew 5:23-24
Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
Before we can be of good use to God, we must be in the right state in our spirit. No matter how earnest our intention is for God, and no matter how useful our work will be towards others, God is also interested in our own person. So to work for God, is to go in His name, He requires us to be clean. In one particular aspect of this involves the forgiveness of others. So we cannot truly represent God if we have unforgiveness towards someone no matter how small that is.
