Forgiveness: I don’t understand it.

From a human standpoint I can say I forgive you—but I’m not really sure I mean it. According to Webster’s Dictionary, forgive means to give up resentment against or the desire to punish; to stop being angry with; to pardon. Do I sincerely give up resentment?

We can’t dole out forgiveness until we believe we are truly forgiven.

When I can fathom the depth of God’s love for me, then maybe, juuuuuust maybe I can truly learn to forgive those who hurt me. Like Paul reminded the Colossians, as the Lord has forgiven you, you must also forgive (3:13).

Who do you need to forgive? Are you ready to forgive them the way God has forgiven you?
