Forgiveness is an issue we all like to think isn’t a big deal……sorry guys, but I’m here to tell you it is a BIG deal!
Many hold a grudge thinking they’re protecting their image or something that is important. Others do it because the one who offended them is not sorry or hasn’t apologized.
Where in the Bible have we learned to forgive because someone has said “I’m sorry” to us or because they deserve it? Such a verse doesn’t exist. Jesus taught that we forgive as many times as we are offended.
Unforgiveness only hurts you and not the one who has offended you. It (unforgiveness) doesn’t aid progression, infact it keeps one down. The ability to forgive immediately you’re offended makes you light as a feather, and not burdened with the imperfections of others as it takes a lot of mental energy to keep a grudge.
We’ve been ordered by the Word of God to forgive as God has forgiven us. If everyone around you was to keep a grudge for every offense you commit life would be unbearable let alone if God didn’t forgive you.
It’s not only a sin to practice unforgiveness, it is also very unwise.
Let the LOVE on your inside triumph each time you are offended and forgive all!
