If you're like many people, you may want to be free of past offenses, but you still carry bitter memories of or hard feelings toward those who have wronged you. You can find freedom from the past and peace Forgiveness is a gift of God's grace.
Forgiveness is easier to grasp when broken into a five-step process.
Admit the pain. You're insignificant in my life. This insulates us from the acute pain of the moment, but it allows the infectious agent of resentment, like toxic bacteria, to enter our soul where it festers, creating a spiritual disease of bitterness. Such a condition gradually estranges us from others and even from God. Denying pain keeps us from starting on the path to forgiveness.
