Forgiveness is a Must

If you really want someone to forgive you for something you said or did; what is the best way to go about it? Forgive every person that has ever offended or hurt you in any way.  

We ask for forgiveness but do we give forgiveness.  Some folk just have a really hard time letting go of offense.  “They hurt me and I will never forgive them.” I have heard that.  “You just don’t know what they did to me.” No, but I know what it is doing to you on the inside.  When forgiveness is not present in us; then bitterness will take over. Bitterness will turn to hatred in time.  These roots can get so deep in us that they can be very hard to pull out.  We will never be able to live our destiny if we don’t forgive others.  We will never enjoy life if we don’t live a life of forgiveness.  When we get our insecurities and pride out of the way we will be able to forgive quickly and completely.  Don’t let unforgiveness keep you in prison.  Live free of the bitterness and hatred that come with unforgiveness.  Today is your day! Forgive those in your life that have hurt and offended you; no matter what they did.  It does not matter what they did to you; it matters what it is doing inside you.  Get free of that poison of unforgiveness right now. Let’s do this together.  Trust me, you can do it and you will be so glad you did!
