Forgiveness is a present event. Time heals all wounds too often encourages a lengthy process that may even add more resentments and bitterness over time. Don't delay in forgiving someone. For Christians, forgiveness is a lifestyle . It is something that is here and now - not for tomorrow, but for today.
Forgiveness is freedom.
There is nothing more free than when God says to you Your sins are forgiven . Equally freeing is when you can forgive others immediately. Forgiveness is an act of the will. If you will supply the desire to forgive others, Christ will supply the emotional freedom. Reproduced with permission.
