Forgiveness

     The hardest thing most of us have to do is to forgive.  I heard someone say this morning on a television show that "without forgiveness love dies".  This is so true.  We see it all around us today, especially in the media.  There seems to be no harmony, no willingness to do what is right because of the focus on revenge.  Not only do we stop loving others, but we are also not loving ourselves.
     There are so many scriptures in the Bible which tell us about forgiveness.  If we would take these to heart, our world would change.  The most important thing about forgiveness is what is it does to the one unwilling to forgive.  Harboring this need to resent, and actually hate, harms our own inner being.  So what do we do?  First of all, we need to seek scriptures found on forgiveness and apply them to our hearts, minds, and lives.  Then we STOP every aspect of our unwillingness to forgiveness.
