Forgiveness can transform empty lives, restore broken relationships, reconcile hopeless marriages, heal hurting families, unite divided churches, rebuild entire nations and change the whole world. And the reason it has so much power is because when we forgive, we are most like God.
1. Is a good attitude
To forgive means that you choose to absorb the pain and loss caused by the other person and they go free, even when they don’t deserve it.
One should never mention the words “forgive” and “forget” in the same breath. We remember, but in forgiving we no longer use the memory against others. Forgiveness is not pretending that the offense did not really matter to us. It did matter, and it does matter, and there is no use pretending otherwise. The offense is real, but when we forgive, the offense no longer controls our behavior.
