Forgiveness

Luke 17 : 3-4

Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespasses against thee; rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

And if he trespasses against thee seven times in one day, and seven times in a day, turn again to thee. Saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

When you do not forgive someone for what they said or did to you, it hurts you much more than it will ever hurt them. They do not stay awake at night thinking about what they said to you or how they hurt you. You are the one up all night long, letting your anger fester inside of you and letting it rob you of valuable time in your life.

Do not hold a grudge against people; nothing will be gained, but much will be lost. Do not go to bed angry; go to bed with kindness and forgiveness.

It is easy to forgive someone if they have genuinely repented from their sins and much more complicated if they have not. Please do not put yourself on the same level as the person that has trespassed against you, for you will be no better off than they are. Forgive your sinner so he can find the grace of God back in his heart again.

By not forgiving people for their sins, you destroy your health and focus all your energy and time on how that person wronged and hurt you. Always remember we are all sinners, and no one is perfect.

By forgiving people, you are doing them an excellent service. They will probably not make the same mistake again with another person. Their connection to God should be much more robust. Your connection to God should be stronger also because you have forgiven one of God’s children.
