Colossians 313 says, As Christ forgave you, so you also must do. Really, God? This is Max Lakato.

Begin the process of healing. How? We'll keep no list of wrongs. Pray for your antagonists rather than plot against them.

Hate their wrong without hating the wrongdoers.

Turn your attention away from what they did to you to what Christ did for you.

Outrageous, as it may seem, Jesus died for them too.

If he thinks they are worth forgiving, they are.

Does that make forgiveness easy?

No.

Quick, seldom, painless. Forgiveness vacillates. It has fits and starts. Good

days and bad. Anger intermingled with love. Irregular mercy. We make progress only to make a wrong

turn, step forward and fall back. But it's okay. As long as you're trying to forgive, you're

forgiving.

It's when you no longer try that bitterness sets in.

So keep trying.

Keep forgiving.
