Forgiveness is essential in living like Christ. Jesus taught us to forgive those who wrong us, just as He offers us forgiveness for our mistakes. This can be tough, especially when we feel hurt or betrayed. Yet, holding onto grudges can weigh us down, preventing us from experiencing the fullness of His grace. When we let go and forgive, we are free to move forward in love and peace. It’s a beautiful act that not only heals our hearts but also reflects Christ’s love to those around us. We should aspire to be quick to forgive, mirroring the divine compassion that Jesus showed us during His earthly ministry.
“For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” – Matthew 6:14-15
“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” – Ephesians 4:32

LET US NOT HOLD GRUDGES, BUT LET US FORGIVE OTHERS.
