Pure baloney!
If you don't take it on yourself to forgive your enemies, that hatred (that's what it is) will dominate your life.
Is forgiveness the same as forgetting? Of course not.
Is forgiveness something that is easy or quick? Of course not!
If someone murders your family, you can either smolder with anger and have your life ruined by the anger OR you can start the process of purging that anger from your heart.
People are gonna hurt you in life...that's the nature of living. Parents are going to hurt you, friends are going to hurt and your enemies are definitely going to hurt you.
But it is up to you to deal with it and get over living a life wherein all your thoughts are dominated by blame (and that's what unforgiveness is).
God is telling us to "get over it and move on"!!!
God is telling us to focus on Him...not spend our lives nursing our wounds.
ABSOLUTELY TRUE:
