The Bible says that Jesus forgives us, but are we really forgiven if we cannot forgive our enemies? Harboring unforgiveness in our hearts can adversely affect our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Holding grudges may cause us to do foolish things that impact countless others! Offering forgiveness to someone who has hurt us is a choice we make to let go of our resentment and the desire to enact revenge on that person because of the forgiveness we have received from God.
