Forgiving doesn’t mean excusing a wrong or denying that it ever happened. It means we don’t allow ourselves to be consumed with anger towards the one who has done something to us. Instead of cursing the person/people who have wronged us, we pray for them.
Forgiveness releases the accused from our custody and turns him over to God…the righteous Judge. The one and only One who is both able and responsible for carrying out justice.
Jesus taught us that we are to forgive those who hurt us, pray for those who despitefully use us, and bless those who curse us. That is hard! But there is something harder…being full of hatred, bitterness, and resentment. In reality, we are keeping ourselves imprisoned by our offender.
We need to set ourselves free! Let's not try to get people back for what they have done to us. Leave it in God’s hands.
