Forgiveness is not forgetting what a person(s) has done to you. Forgiveness is a voluntary process where the victim undergoes a change in feelings and attitude towards the person(s) that wronged them. It is a conscious decision and intentional action made by the victim to let go of the negative emotions such as anger, hate & the perceive penalty that should be received by those that have hurt them. Forgiveness does not mean that you are condoning or excusing the offense, it’s understanding the Natural Order ~ “What Goes Round Comes Around” & Biblical Principle ~ “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” (Gal 6:7).

The Bible gives us clear instruction concerning forgiveness. If someone has wronged/offended you. (Matthew 18:15)

If you think you have offended someone. (Matthew 5:23–24)

Forgiveness is a process that contains 4 components:
1: Release ~ Releasing the person that wronged you from your perceived penalty for their deeds by word & action.
2: Resolve – a firm decision to do or not to do something. To resolve within yourself that I am going to let this go, even though I don’t get the apology or explanation I feel I deserve.
3: Restore – the action of returning something to a former owner, place, or condition.
4: Reconcile – cause to coexist in harmony.

Let me add…Forgiveness is not a option it’s a Requirement! (Mark 11:25)

So, regardless of whether they actually deserve your forgiveness or not, Forgiveness is a mandatory step in the process of Moving Forward & Letting Go, therefore “Forgiveness” is not for or about those who hurt you, FORGIVENESS It’s For YOU

As for me, I choose To FORGIVE!!!!!!!
