Suffering is unavoidable…but endurance is possible.
4. Forgive Those Who Hurt You - Father don’t hold this against them. Release their debt.
- Forgiveness reminds us that people are not our enemy. He wasn’t taking a victim approach.
- Un-forgiveness makes us a victim and people the enemy
- Un-forgiveness keeps us stuck in the pain. In suffering. Stuck in bitterness.
- The quicker we forgive those who hurt us the quicker we grow through the suffering.
The world can't understand a person who suffers this way. Who doesn’t want revenge, isn’t bitter, has joy in trouble, you keep going and persevere through problems with a good attitude.
