The call to forgiveness is at the heart of christian discipleship. 

God continues to forgive us, we should also do the same.  Forgiveness is not something we just do for others, but for ourselves as well so we are not burdened and weighted down.  There is a difference between Forgiveness and Reconciliation.  Have I embraced forgiveness? Is there someone I need to forgive so I can fully live in the moment.  

Forgiveness - pray for the good of the person. not necessarily going back to the original relationship. 
Reconciliation - going back to the original relationship but it is not always a requirement for forgiveness.
