Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
- Ephesians 4:32
Forgiveness is for your benefit. When you forgive, you will have peace in your heart. Bitterness kills the peace of God in you. The stress of an unforgiving Heart are numerous enough to make you lose peace.
Forgiveness is not sign that you are weak but rather it's a sign of maturity. Even when the offender won't come to ask for forgiveness. Take that extra step to forgive him/her.
Jesus told His disciples to forgive Four Hundred and Ninety times per day; Of course He knows no one would offend you up to the number of times; Jesus was simply telling His folks to forgive and forgive and forgive. Your forgiveness should have no limit.
Jesus died for us while we are yet sinners. He forgave us even before we ask for His forgiving.
Maybe someone has hurt you so deep and so bad, you gotta let go. Your husband/wife has done a terrible thing and you don't want to forgive Him/Her, you gotta let go. Forgive That sister or brother of yours. That person you have been avoiding to greet, forgive him/her.
The forgiver enjoys inner peace and unlimited progress.
It's another day, have you forgiven all those that offended you? You have got a chance to do that today. Set yourself free and experience Peace.
