Forgiveness can be a process that can take time. Forgiveness is a commandment from God. Forgiveness is surrending your hurt to God. It is not easy. Yet with God’s help, forgiveness can be accomplished.
“Bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you” (Col.3:13).
It is necessary to forgive the offender, not the offense. Hurt and deeply scarred? Forgiveness frees you from staying a victim. Forgiveness helps you heal from the wounds of deep hurt.
