Dear Linda,
We all must forgive. Even if we don't feel it deep down in our hearts eventually it will come. God made the greatest sacrifice to forgive us by sending Jesus to die for our sins. How can we expect Him to forgive us, if we are not willing to forgive others? Surely we are not better than He. When you don't forgive it does not hurt the other person. They probably are not even aware of the hurt they caused you. Unforgiveness hurts no one but ourselves. When you hold bitterness in your heart you are not able to prosper in life, health and happiness and to move on. Believe me, this is a lesson I had to learn. Unforgiveness is a poison you hold in your body that can only cause you harm. Forgiving does not help the other person, it helps you!
My best to you! |
