Forgiveness is really for our own benefit. We must be determined that we will forgive and let nothing stand in our way to do so.
Forgiveness is first a choice and then an action.
1 John 1:9 says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." God is willing to forgive us!
Matthew 6:15 says “But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Our heavenly Father desires that we forgive others their offenses.
If you are having trouble forgiving this is a good place to start.
God forgives us for His own sake! Let us follow His example!!

If you are having trouble forgiving this is a good place to start.
- Acknowledge that you have been hurt.
- Recognize that your sin against God is far greater than the worst any human could do to you.
- Choose outright to forgive the other person.
- Accept your rightful share of the problem, if appropriate. You are not the victim!
- Try to communicate and clear the air, with hopes of reconciliation.
- If nothing changes , release the person(s) and the hurt.
- Move on
God forgives us for His own sake! Let us follow His example!!
