In the Lord’s prayer, Jesus taught us to pray, “and forgive us our sins, just as we have forgiven those who have sinned against us.” Matthew 6:12
Forgiving is a form of giving. When we forgive others we offer them peace, comfort, healing, freedom, love, hope, and reconciliation. We also give ourselves freedom from chains of unforgiveness and bitterness that seek to bind us and hold us back from who we can become. Generous people give generously and forgive freely.
