Why do we forgive people? Why don't we hold a grudge?
Well, the main reason for the saved is... "Forgive just as your Father in heaven forgave you." The only way we can really realize God's grace and mercy, is if we realize how much God has forgiven us. And if we really know how much God has forgiven us... why shouldn't we forgive others?
You probably know the parable where the a man had a humongous debt, one that he could never pay... but yet, the king forgave him. However, when the man went away... he choked one of his servants for ten-cents! And that's how we are when we don't forgive others.
So if we really know how much Christ has forgiven us, we can forgive anybody for anything!
All Christ,

Jesus has forgiven the ultimate offense, we sure look pitiful when we don't forgive even the smallest of offenses.
Wow, you really hit the nail on the head! Thanks for the post!

When you consider God's amazing love and bountiful forgiveness that He has poured out on us, we shouldn't even have to hesitate to forgive those that hurt us.
How true....thanks for sharing!
