If you wish to be forgiven either today or someday, then you need to learn to forgive others. That is what the Bible states (Matthew 18). There are three classic cases of forgiveness that we need to emulate.

1.     Joseph forgave his own brothers for hating him and selling him for a crime he never committed-Genesis 50:15-19

2.    Stephen prayed for the forgiveness of his persecutors-Acts 7:60

3.    Jesus prayed for the forgiveness of those who tortured and crucified Him-Luke 23:34

Forgiveness has never been easy. Some have the tendency to hold on to deep anger and animosity for many years. The only thing that will satisfy or make them happy is to see their enemies suffer and suffer forever. Mercy!     

Is it possible that deep in your heart sits anger and animosity that is about to exploit? Let it go. Forgive whoever did whatever. Do not go about hating someone and doing everything possible to revenge or destroy them. Whether they ask for forgiveness or not, just forgive them and move on.
