We all have heard that it is better to forgive our enemies or those whom have done us wrongly. I know, personally speaking, that that can be a lot harder to do than said. The thing to remember though is that when you forgive another, you are not releasing them from their guilt or the responsibility of their actions.

Quite the opposite is true. When you forgive another for causing harm (or disharmony) in your life, you re actually freeing yourself so that your soul can mature and grow. Every time you forgive someone of something or of some way they have harmed you, you are releasing the toxins of hurt, pain, guilt, helplessness etcetera and purging them out of your mind and soul.

Forgiveness is saying "I forgive you for your sins against me and mine because you are you and that's just the way you are." (You don't know any better). As you do this it remember, it's not between you and them, it's because it's between them and God. The Lord frees you from the toxicity that has, up until now, contaminated your life and held you back from all the riches the Lord wants so to lavish upon you, the upright.

Realize how much you have been forgiven and lead you to forgive anyone who has grieved or wronged you. Reaffirm your love to that person and always remember to forgive others. Everyday God give you the strength, courage and determination to forgive and love anyone who has offended you.


For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. Matthew 6:14 NIV

If anyone has caused grief, he has not so much grieved me as he has grieved all of you, to some extent—not to put it too severely. The punishment inflicted on him by the majority is sufficient for him. Now instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. I urge you, therefore, to reaffirm your love for him. 2 Corinthians 2:5-8 NIV

Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Colossians 3:13 NIV
