How Do I Forgive?
Forgive: stop feeling angry or resentful toward someone for an offense, flaw, or mistake.
Base your forgiveness on what God has done for you, rather than on what the person has done to you.
See your offender through the eyes of Jesus.
Choose to pay off the debt the person owes you.
Stop replaying the hurt.
Learn from the past, but don’t live in the past.
Only you can choose the position of your heart.
Proverbs 10:12
Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs.
Proverbs 17:9 NIV
He who covers over an offense promotes love, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.
Proverbs 17:9 MSG
Overlook an offense and bond a friendship; fasten on to a slight and – goodbye, friend!
Proverbs 12:6
A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult.
Choose to forgive.
You must forgive – even if there is no repentance.
Some things, you can passively clear from your spirit.
Other things, actively clear your spirit.
Matthew 6:14
“If you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive, your Father will not forgive your sins.”
