if it is difficult for you to forgive and someone has hurt you or a loved one, it probably will not be because you ignore the biblical reasons and others for which you should forgive
You probably know already that God will not forgive you if you refuse to forgive the person who offended you. "And when you are praying, and you have something against someone, forgive, so that our father who is in heaven may forgive him his offenses too, (Mk.11: 25) .You know that if you leave behind the offenses it will be beneficial to you Both emotionally and physically, you realize that your lack of forgiveness is returning you because you keep the memory of the offense fresh in your memory You can even feel your heart speed up a little more each time you swear the details, released more adrenaline in your veins If only you could punish the aggressor in some way, not my own hand necessarily, but suffer a bit of pain I feel.The thoughts of revenge are your constant companions.! Alto! Why? Do you allow a person to dominate and control your thoughts in that way? Would not you like to feel the peace of mind that comes from damaging the past and focusing on the future? Let's see how you can escape from the prison of rancor.
One of the most deceptive myths about forgiveness is that you can do it with your own strength. At one time someone said that "forgiveness is divine". This statement receives more than meets the eye.
Forgiveness is not a good idea simply. It is a divine order that requires divine help. Even the desire to forgive someone who has offended you comes from God. "Because God is the one who in us produces love as well as doing, by his good will" getting to the point of that will can take years for those who pamper resentment, as a mother pampers her child, is something nice. With this type of mimes, the only thing that resentment can do is grow.
The lack of forgiveness is such a big problem in the world today between people and between nations, that several institutions are studying ways to teach people to forgive
By the way, are you one of the offended ones that you must forgive? Do you feel so much resentment for something that in your past you can not forgive yourself? Do you realize that you do not take God by surprise? (ROM 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" So why would you enslave yourself?
