When you forgive somebody that means something in you has died. If you’re not willing to forgive somebody you’re not willing to die.
So many people are afraid to feel grief. Think about the last time you forgave somebody what were the emotions you went through?
Why do so many people struggle with unforgiveness? why do they hate why are they angry why do people that come to church have issues? they’re not surrendered. they haven’t died to themselves.
they haven’t tasted the glory of being forgiven, so they haven’t become forgiveness
Forgiveness removes the other person from your judgement
Mark 12:30-31 (ESV) 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
