Some things in life seems to hang over our head like an albatross.  We never get over acts that were committed against us. We allow these feelings to torment us throughout our lives. Likewise we never forgive those who have committed  harm against us. Either way we end up living our life in alienation from God and His word, simply because we are not willing to forgive. God’s forgiveness is limited and He established provision through Jesus Christ, His only Son who gave His life  for  our sins. He freely gave of Himself so we would have an avenue for forgiveness through Him.

This raises the logical question, If Jesus can forgive us, why can’t we forgive others?  God is merciful. We do not deserve His mercy, but we can depend on His forgiveness through Jesus Christ. The bible says God forgives and forgets sins. So must we. We must fogive and we also must forget.  When we carry feelings of resentment around. it is a huge pity party that stagnates our development. Strangely it seems to be a validation of our feelings, which are unforgiving. We cannot allow this to happen to us and remember how God has freely forgiven us and we should freely forgive others. If Christ can forgive us by dying on the ross and giving us a way to eternal life, we can and should forgive others.
