THE WORD “FOR” MEANS:intended to belong to, or be used in connection with:in order to obtain, gain, or acquire: THE WORD GIVE MEANS: to present voluntarily and without expecting compensation; as that young woman did, consider this reason to forgive. We forgive because God has forgiven us. If we do not, the resentment will build and build-like battery acid that slowly eats away a car-until, unless we fix it, it will destroy us. Even secular psychologists tell us that resentment is the most powerful, self-destructive emotion in our arsenal. Will you allow forgiveness to build, or bitterness to destroy your relationships and life? What You Will Hear What forgiveness means. What forgiveness looks like. A new command: As I have loved you, so you must love one another. Questions to ask ourselves. Realizing the generosity of grace. Forgiveness is hard to accomplish in the human experience. Avoidance and revenge. God is governed by righteousness; whereas, desires and emotions drive us. God has a moral and virtuous purpose; our purpose is self-seeking God's primary purpose in our lives is to bring us out of our self-destructive and self-seeking nature, and into the reclamation of redemption in Him; this is the work of Christ. God's thoughts are beyond our comprehension and imagination; therefore, we should rely on Him, and not on ourselves.
