Tell me about forgiveness. I have a huge grudge in my life that's eating me up. I know I have received God's mercy and must forgive as I have been forgiven. But I'm having a terrible time getting started and staying on track. Here is some practical advice to help you on your journey.
Forgiveness is a choice.
You must begin by choosing it in your mind, saying it to yourself, and asking Jesus to empower you. Forgiveness is a process, not an event. The worse the person hurt you, the longer it can take to come to a full and free mercy. Ask for fresh power to live it out. Forgiveness means seeing the person who hurt you as God sees them.
