It is easier to say than done and that would be to forgive. That is a big thing to learn and perhaps it might take a long time to learn. We all know forgiving is better than grudges. Grudges can hurt our body and mind. Eventually, it would devour our whole being. Sometimes we may think to hurt someone is easier than to be hurt. But when things get settled, the one who initiated the hurt would be remorse for what they did if they have a conscience. But it is not the matter that we concern, that is God’s concern. We just do our part to forgive and we ask God to get the strength and determination to forgive. Our job is done. Luke 23:34 “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing”.
Each of us has been wronged in some way or the other. How do we move forward? Maybe we look up Jesus as an example. In the face of rejection and cruelty, He forgave. It is through Jesus’ forgiveness of our sins that we, ourselves, find salvation, which includes the ability to forgive others.
