Forgiveness is a debt cancelled, letting go of your right to be angry or vengeful
I always thought of “forgiveness” as a gift, to be able to forgive and forget. The world wouldn’t be what it is today. I, myself, have issues involving forgiveness. I have always found my way around forgiving someone. You just don’t want to give someone the satisfaction/or pleasure of your hurt and pain. Not being able to forgive has side effects and they can begin to effect you emotionally and physically. Holding on to anger, resentment and hurt only gives you tense muscles, a headache and a sore jaw from clenching your teeth. This is what we go through because of one’s negative input or wrong doings.
As it says in Luke 23:34: Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” I go by each day not knowing who seeks forgiveness from me. So this eleven letter word has really been an eye opener for me. Instead of expecting forgiveness, we should also give forgiveness because we are also sinners.
We all have a perfect role model (God) who has forgiveness of us for our sins. I see forgiveness as a godly solution. He doesn’t involve vengeance like we do.
