Forgiveness is an act that showcases love; it is the pardon of someone for what they have done to you which you are angry of. Forgiveness might seem easy but it is hard, most especially when the case or situation is a difficult one. To forgive means to also forget; forgiving without forgetting, is only another way of saying, I will not forget. Forgiveness is meant to be like a washed plate without any stain, so that it would be without blemish.
When you practice forgiveness, it doesn't change the past - but it does change the future as well as your perspective of what was formerly hated. Without forgiveness, there would be no love, and without love, hate arises everywhere because people would be offended and there would be no peace.
According to Martin Luther King, Jr - darkness cannot drive out darkness only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate only love can do that. This indicates that forgiveness is driven by love, you have to let go of that bitterness and move on.
Saying that you can't forgive is like saying that you don't offend other people and you are perfect. There is no man on earth that is perfect, every body has the need to be forgiven - it is what we pass through at all stages of how life and can't run from it. You can try to please everybody or stay away from your fellow humans but it won't work because we all need each other to survive and at one time or the other, we offend each other. It is forgiveness that set us back together.
Forgiveness is something that can't be done by the weak, it takes a strong person to forgive and do without having to remember the offense again. If you want to have peace of mind, you have to forgive unless you will keep on carrying grudges in your mind.
Forgiveness brings joy, favor, blessing, rest and peace.
