Part of experiencing emotional healthy is being able to let go of the things that bring us down. Unforgiveness is one of those things. When we’ve been hurt by someone and we refuse to work through forgiveness, we damage ourselves emotionally. The chain of unforgiveness is actually around our neck - and attached to the other person. Forgiveness isn’t instantaneous. It’s a process. The Bible tells us that as Christ as forgiven us so we too ought to forgive each other.

We all make mistakes. Even King David in the Bible was known as a man after God’s own heart but he made a huge mistake by stealing a man’s wife and having her husband killed (2 Sam 11 & 12). But, he repented and asked God forgiveness (2 Sam 12:13). And, God forgave him as depicted in Psalm 32 and Psalm 51. If God can forgive David, there’s hope for us today! And, because of God’s incredible mercy toward us, we can extend that same forgiveness to others.
