Forgiveness is hard to fulfill. Because everyday your forgiveness is tested. Everyday there is situation where you choose the outcome. You could get mad and retaliate or you could forgive. When you forgive people you are not just helping yourself you are also helping those around you by witnessing to them showing them that you are not part of the world, showing them that you are trying to be a more righteous person.



It is also important that you forgive others,

In Matthew 6:14-15, (For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.)

Holding grudges on other people is destructive and sinful. People will test your patience or forgiveness because satin uses them and wants to fill you with anger, it makes him happy.



God forgives all our sins when we ask, there fore we should not withhold forgiveness from others. Realizing completely Christ has forgiven us should produce a free and generous attitude of forgiveness toward others. When we don�t forgive others, we are setting ourselves above Christ�s law of love.

In the story of the servant and the king. The king forgave the servants debt, but when some one owed the servant he forgave not, the king found out and delivered the servant unto the tormentors, till he should pay his debt. (Matthew 18:22-35)



In Matthew 5:39 says to resist evil and if some one strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also. That he may strike it. The Lord is telling you forgive no matter what happens. You will be tempted to strike back, But striking back is an act of anger,unforgiveness, and revenge.



Love one another as they are family, and remember allow the Lord to be your shepard for without him we are lost.
