God revealed something to me yesterday with amazing clarity. It's something that I think I knew before, but somehow, in the midst of a conversation with my wife and a friend, it just became so clear.
We all have things that happen in life that are tough to forgive. When we choose not to forgive someone for a wrong done, no matter how bad, we are basically saying that we don't trust God with our hurt, as much as we trust our own anger, bitterness and resentment for the emotional protection that we feel we owe ourselves. Here is the revelation; when we forgive, we allow God to not only heal us, but to forgive and heal the person or persons who trespassed against us. To forgive in this capacity takes complete trust in and reliance up God's faithfulness to fulfill his promises.
