Are you the kind of person who has a tough time forgiving and forgetting? If so, welcome to the club/ Most of us find it difficult to forgive the people who have hurt us. And that's too bad because life would be much simpler if we could forgive people "once and for all" and be done with it. Yet forgiveness is seldom that easy. Usually, the decision to forgive people is straightforward,but the process of forgiving is more difficult. Forgiveness is a journey that requires effort, time, perseverance, and prayer.
If there exists even one person who you have not forgiven (and that includes yourself), obey God's commandment: forgive that person today. And remember that bitterness, anger, and regret are not part of God's plan for your life. Forgiveness is.
If you sincerely wish to forgive someone, pray for that person. And then pray for yourself by asking God to heal your heart. Don't expect forgiveness to be easy or quick, but rest assured: with God as your partner, you can forgive.....and you will.
