Forgiveness

Love and forgiveness are the HEART of the Gospel. FORGIVENESS is part of God’s plan. He forgives us when we ask Him and repent. We also need to forgive others who hurt us, because unforgiveness and bitterness destroy life, hurting others, but most of all hurting ourself. UNFORGIVENESS is the only thing mentioned in the New Testament that gives Satan an advantage.
Forgiveness is a CHOICE to release and forgive those who offended us or brought pain to our life, even (especially) if we feel we cannot forgive them. We need to not only forgive others, but also forgive ourself, so we can see ourself as God sees us. At times, we might need to forgive God for allowing what happened.
