How many times have you heard someone say, "I could never forgive them for that"? Forgiving others is not easy to do, especially if the other person hasn't asked for forgiveness. But God's Word is clear: We are to forgive others just as He has forgiven us. Too hard you say? Sure it is, humanly speaking. But God also gibes us the ability through His Spirit. Be sure to confess your sins to Him and ask Him to forgive you. Then ask forgiveness of others whom you may have offended. Being faithful in these areas will make it easier for you to forgive others.
