"Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you." - Colossians 3:13
Have you ever been hurt by someone? Maybe they said something unkind, or they did something that caused you pain. It can be hard to forgive, but it's important to remember that forgiveness is not just for the other person; it's for us too.
When we forgive, we release ourselves from the burden of anger, resentment, and bitterness. We open ourselves up to healing and peace.
In the Bible, we see many examples of forgiveness. One of the most powerful examples is the story of Jesus on the cross. While being crucified, he prayed, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." (Luke 23:34)
Jesus' forgiveness is a model for us. It shows us the power of choosing love over hate, and compassion over revenge.
Forgiveness is not always easy, but it is always worth it. When we forgive, we are not condoning the wrong that was done to us. We are simply choosing to release ourselves from the pain and move on.
