FORGIVENESS AND LOVE
Matthew 18:21-22
21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” 22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.
There is no limit or timeline on forgiveness. God forgives us; therefore, we must forgive others. While forgiveness is freedom; it does not come easy. We just don't have a world that's full of nice people who always do kind things. But, there are some good and nice people in the world. One cannot forgive without love - agape love, brotherly love. Therefore, we can go to God in secret prayer and ask Him to bless us to love as He loves. That's the first step to forgiveness. Forgiveness and love work better together.
Once you forgive, you have released the burden of unforgiveness. Unforgiveness brings hurt, bitterness, anger, pain and stagnation. So, unforgiveness is harmful to your physical and mental health. Free yourself, obey Christ's instructions and live your life abundantly. Don't let pride get in the way of your blessing - forgive and love.
