“And when you stand praying, if you
hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that you Father in heaven may
forgive your sins.”
Many times in the Bible we are told
to forgive those who have done wrong to us. Matthew 18:21-22 says, “Then Peter
came up to Jesus and asked, ‘Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother
when he sins against me? Up to seven times?’ Jesus answered, ‘I tell you, not
seven times, but seventy-seven times.’” Sometimes though when we forgive others
we forget that we should be experiencing just as much of a changed attitude as
they should. Holding a grudge against someone can be just as harmful as what
they have done to us. When we refuse to let go of that hurt and forgive the
person who has wronged us, we are the one who is truly being hurt. Though we
may not be about to forget, being willing to forgive means we are willing to
put the past behind us and move on.
