About Forgiveness. . .

And sometimes, it's PLAIN DAMN HARD!

"It's quite true that a 'Lack of Forgiveness' from the Heart, 
as Jesus taught, often does more harm to the person who carries it, 
than it does to the person who isn't being Forgiven.

True Forgiveness is MORE than a simple act of the will.
It's a HEARTFELT RELEASE of our judgments against another, 

 and that's a LOT more complicated. Unforgiveness is one of 
the terrible ways we bind people on earth. Heartfelt Forgiveness is one of the marvelous ways we can loose them. If you're having 
a hard time forgiving, relax. . . ask the Lord for help.

Pray for wisdom, work on healing your own pain, and ask Christ to enable you to release your judgments. If necessary, talk through the issues with the people who have wronged you. One way or another, you'll EVENTUALLY be able to Forgive them from the heart. . . 

How do you KNOW when you've done that? If you find
yourself saying, "I forgive you, but I never want to see you again" -
YOU HAVE NOT FORGIVEN.
