I have recentely discovered that many people think that forgiving is on a situation-by-situation thing. Forgiving anyone should be a lifestyle. When I was younger I knew this and was able to even teach my older siblings and my parents about forgiving the way that you are supposed to. Trust me, I had to fight them tooth and nail about it until they realized that I was right. Who knew that a little kid could teach you something? However, as I grew up I lost that along the way. Just recently I have discovered that forgiving is not just forgiving someone because they have done something wrong but living a life based around forgiving will give you joy and peace but it also shows those around you the kind of God that we serve. If you lived a life that was full of forgiveness, just imagine the kind of people that would start seeking the light that shines in you? In other words, what kind of witness are you portraying to others? What kind of person do they see in you? Do they see a loving God? Do they see a forgiving person? Or do they see a bitter person always on others' heels? What kind of person do you want people to see?
