Forgiveness

There are two things that love does;Love gives and love forgives. When you reach to someone in forgiveness, it doesn’t mean that you approve of what he or she has done. It doesn’t mean that you want them to do it again. Reaching out in forgiveness means that you value the love that God has for the person and you want a channel through which that love will flow to them. Holding on to hurt and wishing or praying that something bad happens to the person that has hurt you is like drinking poison and hoping that another person dies. Unforgiveness is poison. You are the one it hurts not the person that has hurt you. God says Vengeance is mine! Vengeance is not yours! Unforgiveness is an emotional take over authority from God.
It is ascending to God’s throne to make yourself a judge! You are not the one who should dictate  consequences for those who sinned against you. Let go and let God be the judge.
