Why forgive?
Well I could sit here and tell you how it frees you. You are no longer giving control of your thoughts and feelings to someone else. Though I want to talk about a different reason.
We should forgive because we are sinners living in a broken world apart from God. And despite our continual sins that push God from us, He still seeks us and offers forgiveness to us.
If God is my example, should I not try to forgive others too? I'm not perfect and neither is anyone else, so of I want to accept grace and forgiveness, I better be willing to offer it too.
