Forgiveness gives silence to our cry for justice, revenge and satisfaction. Forgiveness gives silence to my rights and winning. In that silence there is not only peace, there is spiritual and mental health. If that silence is not sought, anger can open the door to resentment and bitterness. This gives “place to the devil” to do his mischief in our mind and soul. There can never be peace where resentment and bitterness dwell; mental and spiritual health are disrupted. How would your life change if you would forgive all the individuals you need to to forgive?
“For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” (Matthew 6:14–15 ESV).
