Matt 18:21-22
21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?"
22 Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.NIV
250. Practicing Forgiveness Spurgeon advised, "Cultivate forbearance until your heart yields a fine crop of it. Pray for a short memory as to all unkindness." That is how the truly wise man acts.

A common situation to a person who is sorrounded by other people is to be offended, either intentionally or not. Its not actually a question of why but of how to deal with every situation like that. Some might retaliate, some would just be silent and keep the offense to their heart. Though their is a better option in which is the most difficult; and that is what Christ is asking us to do; Forgive!!!
As we forgive these great things happen;
1. We will be release from ill feeling that affects our behavior
2. Peace both inside and with God
3. Freedom from all evil thought that will infest you after you norture that offense
4. Answer to prayer
5. Being forgiven also in return.
We might not know it but forgiveness is an essential part to live free of many hurt aches and trouble.
Doing it is only possible if Christ love dwells in us! Let His shed blood covers all wrongs done by others as he covers your own wrong doing!
God bless and please forgive who ever and no matter what!
