Jesus talks a lot about forgiveness, and the apostles also echoed the same sentiment. Forgiveness is vital to God because He knows the spiritual and even physical benefits of forgiving others. Despite all that, when we forgive, it brings us closer to God, it makes our hands and hearts clean, and it also makes way for God to use us for His purpose.
The enemy knows that forgiveness takes our lives to a different level; that is why he keeps people in bondage with unforgiveness.
Most often, before God uses you for an assignment, it is required that you go through the forgiveness process so that your heart and hands are clean. That way, the enemy will not have anything to accuse you of - Also, when you forgive and go through that healing journey, you grow spiritually and emotionally. Your interaction with people is mature, and you learn how to forgive people even when they hurt you again.
Please read and meditate on these verses for forgiveness.
Colossians 3:13
