Forgiveness is not easy – but it is necessary if we want to experience peace and joy. Part of forgiveness is releasing the person from the debt we think they owe us. Refusing to do so extinguishes our joy. Sometimes we just need to let go and cut our losses instead of allowing the weight of an unpaid debt to deplete our mental and emotional energy. In other words, we can forgive the debt and set ourselves free. Forgiveness is a deliberate choice – not an emotion or a feeling. Feelings may or may not follow that choice, but God’s favor certainly will. Honestly, when it comes to forgiveness, feelings are irrelevant, but obedience is crucial. Do not base the validity of what you are doing on how you feel. If we make the choice to forgive, God will supply the forgiveness. There should be no limit to our forgiveness because there is no limit to His. Forgiveness is our greatest need and God’s greatest gift.
