My friend Sari, was given a new identity through her relationship with Jesus. He helped her to forgive people that had hurt her deeply, and never apologized. Carrying heavy burdens that were laid upon her heart was something God never really intended for her to do, and once she laid aside the weight through forgiveness her life was transformed into something beautiful. Matthew 6:14-15 For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
