After you have made the first step which is desiring to forgive the person that offended or insulted you, you move on to;
DECIDE
After you have the desire to forgive, then you must
decide to do it. Our decision must be a firm decision that is determined to
make forgiveness a lifestyle. This decision doesn’t necessarily change the way
you feel right away and it doesn’t mean that you will never struggle with the
whole idea of forgiving people.
Deciding to forgive some set of people can be hard
because we have people you will need to forgive over and over and over again,
that is why we need to have the desire before the decision comes in, so that trying
to forgive our enemies wont stress us out. Sometimes I have to deal with people
in my life who behaves the same way I once did. It isn’t easy trying to talk to
them sometimes, but I often don’t feel like it, but I have made a decision to obey
God and not live in anger and bitterness. Forgiveness is one of the most
beautiful gifts that God offers us and when we are willing to give it to
others, it adds beaut, peace, joy and power to our own lives.
