One of the most powerful principles in God’s Word is forgiveness. We all need to have it and we all need to give it. In fact, Jesus says “If we forgive men their trespasses then our Heavenly Father will also forgive us.”
From my perspective, through over 20 years of Pastoral ministry, forgiveness is one of the biggest stumbling blocks to one’s spiritual growth.
As long as there is humanity, there will always be offenses and hurts, and we all must learn the power of forgiveness. So, if someone has hurt you, forgive them. You didn’t ask to be hurt – you didn’t deserve to be treated that way – there was no reason for it! Harboring unforgiveness in your heart will ruin you – so forgive!
Remember forgiveness is not a formula, it is a lifestyle choice that we need to make daily.
Take the high road – forgive.
