Lord, Help me to Forgive

Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Luke 6:37

Forgiveness is never easy. But sometimes it feels downright impossible in light of devastating and horrendous pain we have suffered. When we forgive someone, it doesn't make them right or justify what they have done. It releases them into God's hands so He can deal with them. Forgiveness is actually the best revenge because it not only sets us free from the person we forgive, but it frees us to move into all God has for us. Forgiveness opens your heart and mind and allows the Holy Spirit to work freely in you. We all get hurt sometimes and usually by the people we love but we are human and we make mistakes. Our job is to give those mistakes and learn from it.
