Ephesians 4:32 " and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you"
Forgiveness means to treat a person as if something never happened.
Forgiveness is vital for a marriage to work. Is it easy? Definitely not. I know some people that have been hurt badly, and forgiveness is the last thing that they want to think about.
Jesus said, forgive as I have forgiven you. Remember that you are not perfect, and neither is the person you married. God doesn't view one sin worse than the other like we do. To God, sin is sin!
I have learned in my life that you are no good with bitterness harbouring in your heart. Bitterness is what comes from not forgiving. It usually brings more hurt to yourself, than the one you are angry with. What happens is we take it out on everyone else. Maybe the children, a coworker, or some Innocent person in our path that day.
I do believe we need to learn for everything that we go through. God allows us to go through certain things so that we may grow in Him. He will never leave us, nor forsake us. I understand that forgiveness may be the last thing on your mind. That is why you must lean on Jesus to help you.
You cannot have a solid marriage without forgiveness. If you are struggling with forgiveness, I pray that you get the victory over it. Remember you can have Victory In Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!
amen!
