Hi Chris Forgiveness is essential for emotional health. But forgiving someone is not always easy. It means choosing to pardon the offence that has been committed. It does not mean that a criminal should not be punished. Justice must take its course. But in your heart you choose to set them free from your anger, wrath, resentment or desire for revenge and retribution. The key is to forgive all who offend you as quickly as you can - to keep forgiving. If you carry any anger or resentment towards anyone, it indicates unforgiveness. It will harm you, not the offender. As soon as you become aware of anger or bitterness toward anyone, make a decision that you want to forgive them in the next week or so. Make a note and start preparing yourself mentally to release that person. I heard this saying once: “Forgiveness is setting a person free, only to discover the prisoner was you”
