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?
