Forgiveness

We are often wronged by strangers and even those who are close to us. We ourselves harm others as well. We often get angry at those who offend us and hold grudges against them, but we should not do this. Forgiving those who wrong us is not easy but we have to try our best because it is the right thing to do and pleases the Lord.

For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Matthew 6:14-15

We should forgive others just as God forgives us everyday. We should also forgive ourselves for mistakes we've made. Be kind and compassionate to one another and forgive because you want to and not because you have to.

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Ephesians 4:32
