Luke 10 [NIV Dramatized Audio]

When Jesus taught His Disciples to pray, He instructed them to say, “Forgive us our [sins] AS we forgive those who sin against us.” He made it clear that for God to forgive us, we MUST forgive others.

Forgiveness is much easier to accomplish when you don’t accumulate a big case against someone ie. if you constantly dwell on how they have offended you, you will have built up a big load of hate and revenge that will be difficult to forgive.

Make the quality decision to be an instant forgiver. The moment thoughts otherwise begin, erase them with instant forgiveness. Keep the account clean. Don’t add up offenses. Forgive every little hurt.

My grandmother was a lover/forgiver. In her presence you were accepted. She probably learned to be a good forgiver because she lived with my grandpa. He was a character in his younger days.
