FLOYD ROGERS

Even if others treat us poorly or choose not to live peacefully with us, we are still responsible for our own actions. No situation makes it right to hold onto bitterness. Holding an unforgiving attitude can never be defended, no matter what has happened.

When we take a close look at our own lives, we see how much Christ has already forgiven us. Our past includes times when we’ve ignored or disobeyed God, yet He continues to offer grace. Remembering this helps us to forgive others, even if we struggle to like them or decide not to continue the relationship.

Forgiveness does not mean agreeing with wrong behaviour or pretending nothing happened. But if we want true peace inside, we must release the weight of resentment.

Be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.

Ephesians 4:32
