The Pleasure Of Forgiving
"For if ye forgive men their traspasses, your
Heavenly Father will also forgive you." Matt 6:14
When we forgive others, we help ourselves as much as we help those whom we forgive. We are elevating ourselves and will
feel much better when we forgive, than if we would keep on adding more and more resentment.
Try it for a couple of
weeks. At night, think about any difficulties you have with others and forgive them. Notice how it will change your attitude
toward those people the next day.
A person who threatens, "I'll remember that" or "I'll get even with you" hurts himself
more than he hurts others. Why suffer from resentment when you can choose the pleasure of forgiving?
