This is not a call to go tracking down everyone who has ever hurt us and inform them that we have forgiven them… honestly, that may go very poorly unless His Spirit has specifically led us in that direction. This is about RELEASING them from what they have done… not because they are apologetic, because they may NEVER be. Not because they deserve it, because none of us do. But because the level of forgiveness we want from our Father is absolute mercy and grace for ALL of our sins, we must go and do likewise. Unpack that box today… not for them, but for YOU. If we want to be like Christ, we must remember that as He innocently suffered and die for the sins of others He had one thing to say about it…
Luke 23:34 Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."
