What is Forgiveness?
Forgiveness is an individual, a voluntary, internal process of letting go of feelings and thoughts of resentment, bitterness, anger, and the need for vengeance and retribution toward someone who we believe has wronged us, including ourselves.
It is a commitment and a choice. It is an expression of faith and love.
What Forgiveness is not?
Forgiveness is not a feeling
Forgiveness is not just forgetting
The Benefits of Forgiveness?
It sets us free and it benefits us as if a huge burden has been lifted up from our chest. Many times we need to forgive ourselves too as this sets us free from things of our past because not forgiving yourself is like punishing yourself. If we do not forgive a part of us is trapped in resentment, anger, pain or suffering of some kind. Unforgiveness limits us.
When you forgive, you will have a positive attitude in everything you do. It will improve your relationships. You become a better spouse, a better employee, a better parent, a better child, a better student. There will be a bounce in your steps. The Holy Spirit of God will flow freely in every area of your being. As a result of this our health too improves.
How will I know if I have forgiven someone or not?
You will know that you have forgiven completely, whenever the memory comes back, you will not feel any pain, hurt or anger. You will feel the love of Christ in you that you will extend it to that person.

[Repeat the above two steps for the people who have deeply offended you or your loved ones]
3. Heavenly Father, teach me to love ....... like You do and bless them in the name of Jesus.
4. Father, in the name of Jesus, open my eyes to see (name of person) in the way you see him/her for I am Your true child. Have mercy on me.
5. I forgive (name of person) for I walk by faith and not by emotions. The Lord will surely honour me for this.
6. Every power, robbing me of the mercy and favour of God because of unforgiveness, release me and go in the name of Jesus.
