There is forgiveness by the Father and there is human forgiveness - human forgiveness helps the person doing the forgiving so they don't carry the baggage of hate around.If it helps the person being forgiven, so much the better.

Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us....

Funny how so many jump on folks "who just don't understand" while not understanding themselves....but who have the need to crap on any good deed because it just don't live up to their own "standards".........kind of ironic if one looks at it.

Most of us know forgiving helps to lighten our load....

...but I know personally it’s very, very hard to forgive some people who have betrayed us.

In my morning prayers, I always ask God for help in forgiving this one person in my past but it’s easier said than done...still trying, though.

Should I forgive the driver too?? How about you, have you forgiven her?? Even though we have no right to forgive a trespass which happened to someone else, let’s all sing kumbyah and have a pity party — we’ll FEEEEEEL better, and that really is the bottom line for today’s Christian. Not what was said, who was the audience, nor what was the context.

Have you ever read King David’s final instructions to Solomon? Do so. He’s someone who would advise that a DUI driver be captured, gutted, and hung.
