As humans, we are often hurt by others, may it be intentionally or unintentionally. The pain and hurt we experience can be difficult to bear, and in most cases, we tend to hold onto grudges and resentment against the person who hurt us. However, as followers of Christ, we are reminded to as God us.

Forgiveness is not easy. But, it is an essential virtue that every Christian must strive to embody. As humans, we may struggle to forgive ourselves for the mistakes we have made, let alone forgive others who have done wrong to us. However, when we find ourselves in such a situation, we must remember that is not only for others but also for ourselves.

God loves us unconditionally, and He forgives us for our sins, no matter how big or small they may be. When we accept Christ as our Lord and Savior, we experience His love and grace, and we are forgiven of our sins. We should, therefore, reflect this love and forgiveness in our relationships with others.

Forgiveness is not the same as forgetting what happened or pretending that it did not happen. Rather, forgiveness involves acknowledging the offense, feeling the pain and hurt, and then making a conscious decision to release the person who hurt us from our anger and resentment. Forgiveness is an act of the will, and it is something we choose to do, even if we don’t feel like it.

As Christians, we are called to forgive because God first forgave us. In the book of Colossians 3:13, we are reminded to “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against . Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” This verse tells us that we must forgive others, no matter how difficult it may be, and that forgiveness is not optional. Forgiveness is a commandment, and it is something we must choose to do if we are to live a life that is pleasing to God.

When we choose to forgive, we are freeing ourselves from the bondage of unforgiveness and resentment. We are allowing God’s love and healing to flow through us, and we are making room for Him to work in our hearts and the hearts of those we have forgiven.

Forgiveness is also an act of faith. When we choose to forgive someone, we are putting our trust in God, knowing that He will take care of the situation. We are also displaying our faith in His ability to heal and restore relationships.

In conclusion, forgiveness is a challenging but essential virtue that every Christian must strive to embody. We are called to forgive as God loves us, and we must be willing to release those who have hurt us from our anger and resentment. Forgiveness is not easy, but it is an act of faith that allows the love of God to flow through us and to touch the hearts of those we have forgiven. Let us, therefore, choose to forgive, just as God has forgiven us, and let us allow His love and grace to fill our hearts and transform our lives.
