I want to take our first step toward inner healing by talking about an attitude of our hearts that is a key to our inner transformation, this attitude is forgiveness.  It would be hard for us to overestimate the importance of forgiveness to our Lord.  It is the very centerpiece of Christianity.  Forgiveness is why the Lord left the glories of heaven to be born as a man, and to die bearing the sins of the world.  He did all of this, so that we could be forgiven.  Our forgiveness came with a high price, no wonder that our Lord asks us to model this same quality to a broken world.
