Only then can our fast be pleasing to God. John Chrysostom tells us that we should consider forgiving others and reconciling with them as an essential part of spiritual lives — not something optional if it is convenient and easy, but something critical and necessary no matter what what the obstacles or what the cost.
If the Emperor had laid down a law that all those who were enemies should be reconciled to one another, or have their heads cut off, should we not every one make haste to a reconciliation with his neighbor? Yes, truly, I think so! What excuse then have we, in not ascribing the same honour to the LORD that we should do to those who are our fellow servants? He has made you a judge of the pardon of your own offenses! If you forgive few things, he forgives you few!
If you forgive many things, he forgives you many! If you pardon from the heart, and sincerely, God in like manner also pardons you…. Although you may have made many entreaties, yet you must not desist until you have persuaded.
God entreats us every day, and we do not hear; yet he does not cease entreating.
