Forgiveness

"It's the hardest thing to give away." Forgiveness by Matthew West
"Oh Father, give me grace to forgive them 'cause I feel like the one losin'." Losing by Tenth Avenue North

The sweetest word is forgiveness, yet we withhold this precious gift from those we love because of our own selfish desires and ambitions. Instead, we carry around the heavy burden of unforgiveness hurting ourselves more than the one(s) who wronged us. We forget that we have been forgiven so much through the cross of Christ. 

I pray for God to grant me grace to choose forgiveness over bitterness each day.

Whom do you need to forgive? Won't you let go of the debt they owe you? Trust me, I know first-hand, you will feel a thousand times lighter.
