Why should you forgive?

Forgiveness is good for you. It allows you to heal properly. Learn how to forgive, work through your emotions, and move forward. The more you hold on to things, the harder it becomes to release them. When you forgive and give it to God, it gives you freedom from any hindrances. It breaks the power of controlling your emotions. Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to set healthy boundaries and maintain a healthy relationship between yourself and others, or if you are not comfortable with maintaining a relationship with them, you may have to forgive and move forward doing what is best for you. If you are uncertain about it, ask God to help you decide what is the best thing for you to do and how to deal with your situation. 

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭13‬‬

and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭32‬‬

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am grateful 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
