Do You Forgive?

This is a tough topic.

It’s definitely something we all wrestle with throughout our lives.

“But I was right and he was wrong!” “I’ll never speak to her again!”

The difficulty of the forgiveness varies with the degree of the perceived hurt.

Unfortunately, while our unwillingness to forgive the other person is our attempt to punish the wrong doer, we take a toll as well. It’s just another bothersome aspect of our lives that just won’t go away on its own.

So, do you carry this monkey on your back until some stranger closes the door on your casket or do you grant genuine forgiveness and lighten the load?

God has forgiven you countless times! Now, it’s your turn!

If not today, when?
