God’s Help When It’s Difficult To Forgive

Many of us go year after year living with bitterness brought about by pain from past hurts. We have never forgiven the ones who hurt us. It is also likely that they are completely unaware that we carry around the burden of their offenses against us. For some, there is a fear of forgiveness because it means that we’ll be vulnerable to potential hurt from someone else. Then there are those who’ve forgiven their offenders but struggle with forgiving themselves. Many of us do not fully understand God’s way to forgiveness. Are you in bondage because of unforgiveness? Perhaps you will answer the call today and ask for God’s Help When It’s Difficult to Forgive.
