I lot of time people have wrong and treated us badly and its so hard to forgive them, But according to the bible Jesus command us to forgive seven times seven. Every person is accountable to God for not obeying his command inspite of what others has done to us. God was ready to forgive and restore all those who would come to him and turn away from sin. If we want to reap that glorious life that God has offer we have to obey Gods commandment. Jesus has done no wrong, they spat on him, they beaten him, they give him vinegar to drink and they pierce his side. Inspite of what Jesus had undergo, while on the cross he turn up his eyes and said, father forgive them for they know not what they have done. jesus is a perfect example for us to follow. If we want forgiveness for our sins we have to forgive our brother. Jesus said if we failed to forgive our brother then our father in heaven will not forgive us. So let us release our self from all the burden that the devil put on us and do what God has command. If you want that piece and contentment that God has to offer let us let us put the devil to shame and clame it in Jesus name by doing what he has commanded.

Jesus clearly commanded us to forgive. It is not always easy to forgive especially if we are deeply hurt by the offender. But you see, forgiving is not an emotion. It is a decision..When we forgive we do not only release ourselves but the offender as well. We'll be set free of all the effects the offense might have on us. The pain might occur even after we have forgiven, but don't worry because healing is on its way. If we find it hard to forgive, let's examine ourselves..Who doesn't need forgiveness?

This is something that I feel a lot of people to need to work on. None of us are perfect but Jesus and we need to be more forgiving to others. I also believe that forgivness is for ones self as well for the other person and or persons involved as well. If we take a step back and realize that anyone can make a mistake than I feel we are more likeyl to forgive than to hold a grudge. Take care happy mylotting to you.
