Forgive those who hurt you

I hear people say, “I will never forgive you or this is unforgivable.” We live in a world where people hurt each other in different ways.

Some hurt with words, others hurt with deeds.

Some of the disputes between husbands and wives, among friends, neighbours, family and co-workers have resulted in divorce, murder, loss of friendship, pain and bitterness. On many occasions we hear of murders being referred to by the police as revenge killings.

I am convinced that if we forgive one another in spite of the pain and hurt, we would see a reduction in divorce, murders, hatred and revenge.

Yes, I know forgiving someone for all the pain and hurt they caused is not an easy thing to do, but it is not impossible. With the help of God we can do it.

It is proven that forgiveness is good for one’s health. Holding on to hurts can cause sickness. So let us forgive each other.
