How to Forgive SomeoneSample

When you discard the enemy's lies and focus on the blessings and benefits of forgiveness, you will see how deceitful the devil was to try and keep you bound to unforgiveness.

As hard as it may feel, decide to embrace the future God has for you. It is one of joy and peace–a future where the pain of that memory stops affecting you.

Choose to let go of that hurt.

You'll realize how much more energy, time, and mental capacity you have to do new things in life. Often people will think they have control over the situation, but when it's left unresolved and time passes, they don't realize they are actually being controlled.

When you forgive, God can bring healing and His love to those areas of your heart. The pain that the offender caused can finally stop hurting you when you choose to shake off the shackles and move forward. God's life for you is waiting on the other side of forgiveness.

When we look at Scripture, we see that Jesus commands us to forgive. Not just for the sake of our sanity but our forgiveness. The Bible clarifies that we are to forgive our debtors, just as He has forgiven us. I urge you to heed God's voice today and decide to forgive so you may not have any fault in your heart.

Let's Pray:

Father, I have read Your Word and have heard Your command to forgive. I need Your strength to do so. I can't do this on my own. I pray that You would send Your Spirit to help me as I take this step to forgive.
