FORGIVENESS
Most times we hear people say things like I can never forgive him for what he did, I can never forgive her for what she did, I am never going to forgive that family for what they did to me, I am never going to communicate with them. Looking at our relationship with Christ, most times we wrong Him with our words, actions, e.t.c. but He still forgives us, He never says John because you wronged me I am never going to forgive you. So we really shouldn't utter things like that when people offend us. What we need to say is although what he did to me is painful but I have forgiven him, what she did to me broke me down and hurt me, but I have forgiven her. Truly that family wronged me but I forgive. There's this saying:
let us forgive each other, only then will we live in peace... Leo Nikolaevith Tolstoy

So forgive that person that has wronged you so you can live in peace. And let the forgiveness come from your heart with all sincerity.
I love that quote about setting a prisoner free. Forgiving and living without grudges is so much nicer. Nobody forces you to stay angry at somebody. And I guess God teaches us forgiveness. If you believe that God is love then not forgiving means shutting God out. Just a thought I had :)
That's true. There's no way one will be able to hear him.
