It is crazy how our thoughts can really effect how we feel about somebody.  It doesn’t matter how awesome that person is, or how much they have done for us, when they do something that really makes us made because it goes against what we want, it is really easy to forget the past and focus on that one problem.  When we can’t forgive somebody for what happened it will quickly change the way we think about that person.

Have you ever thought this?

I can’t forgive them, because they will keep doing it.

Or

If I forgive them, then it shows that they are right and I am wrong.

Being unable to forgive somebody causes us to be a slave the circumstance.  If we can’t get passed it, then there is no reconciliation between the two people.  It is a hurdle that you have to get past and move on from or it will ruin everything and cause your thought life to become negative and bitter.

The easiest way to forgive somebody is to realize what Christ did on the Cross for us.  He died so that our sins would be forgiven.  What we have done to God far outweighs what that person has done to us.  The scripture tells us that we have been forgiven much to forgive much.  We are  not to hold on to the wrong that has been done, but to let it go.  We have to focus on God and try to make things right while trusting that He is in control.  It is only when we forgive, that we can move on to a free life and really enjoy the blessings of the Lord.
