What really is forgiveness? Is it something that just happens? How do we really go about forgiving someone that has done us wrong or hurt us? Why do we need to forgive? Do we even need to forgive someone that has hurt us so long ago? All these questions I have been asking myself constantly for some time now, and often times I get so angry and frustrated with not knowing the answers. However, I know that we are called to forgive, just as we have been forgiven for our sins, by Jesus! He died for our sins. Why not forgive those that have sinned against us?
Let me tell you, as I am writing this, I am battling so much with everything forgiveness. Honestly, forgiveness is one of the many things that I have held onto for dear life. It makes me sick to my stomach to think I need to forgive someone for hurting me so badly.
Why is it so hard to forgive? Would it be easier if the person we need to forgive came and asked for the forgiveness? What would our walks with Christ look like if He didn't forgive us, every time we messed up?
How many times have I messed up today, and need to ask for forgiveness from others, but also from My Heavenly Father who constantly shows Mercy and Grace to us all?
