The Power of Forgiveness.
A lot of times, we hesitate to forgive because we somewhat believe holding on to the hurt will make everything better. We come to a state where forgiveness is an option when we have been hurt. It is because someone has wronged us, that's why we start talking about forgiving others. What we often do is we would hold on to the hurt, thinking that by not letting go we are somehow hurting that person back, when in reality, we are merely hurting ourselves. God know this first, that's why He gave a huge emphasis on the importance of forgiveness. Looking at Joseph, we see how Joseph forgave his brothers for what they have done to him. He even embraced Benjamin, showing how he sincerely have let the past go. It is through forgiveness that relationships are restored.
God forgave our sins first, that's why now we can have a relationship with Him. He opened up the way for us to be close to Him. This is exactly what we should do to others who have hurt us. We should not be holding grudges, we should let it all go, surrender it to God and ask God for a heart that forgives. It's about time we set our broken relationships right and the first step we need to take towards restoration is forgiveness.
