Forgiveness, it has been said, is a supernatural endeavor, for it is impossible for humans to do something this difficult in their own strength. Perhaps then we ought to try and understand God’s forgiveness, so that we can ask him to perform the same miracle in our lives. But we don’t do we? We hold on to the hurt, and think about the pain. We become bitter, angry, and resentful as we dwell in the place of unforgiveness.
In the end we are the one’s who end up imprisoned behind the bars of our own hatred. Forgiveness is not letting the person off the hook, but rather giving up demands as to what should happen to that person. It is dropping the debt so that we can walk in a new freedom.
This is the kind of forgiveness that is available to us, and is the kind of forgiveness we can supernaturally give to others.
