How Do We Forgive As We Ought?

Send us Fan Mail We all get hurt sometimes, by other humans, and we feel the pain. Often times we struggle to get over the betrayal and hurt we feel because a lot of times these were unwarranted. When we see or remember the person who hurt or betrayed us we feel the pain anew, and sometimes there's an unhealthy desire to see them suffer too, or avenge ourselves somehow. But we have ourselves betrayed and sinned against the almighty God who chose to forgive and love us rather than condemn us, we live daily in His amazing grace. Being recipients of God's great mercy and grace, He commands us to extend the same to fellow men who sin against us, and this can seem impossible. Our Lord is wonderful and compassionate, He knows exactly the pains we feel because He went through worse for us; yet He insists we must forgive as we have been forgiven. How do we do this? There is only ONE way to be a Christian!
