Please listen to this speaker's testimony first.
Forgiveness Will Transform Your Relationships
This speaker's testimony's is very similar with mine. I could not have forgiven my father before he passed away. I had regretted. I was so scared to loose my mother without being able to forgive her who was my biggest enemy in my life. But I did not know how to forgive her. I did not want to forgive her. It was so difficult. Even after I came to Christ and I heard how God has forgiven my sin, still it was hard and I could not forgive her. It took for a long time to be able to forgive my mother and to ask her to forgive me.
For God's love and grace, I was able to forgive her. I would have not be able to do it, if I wanted to do for myself or for her. But I wanted to do it to bring a glory for my God. He knew my heart so he allowed me to forgive her. That set me free from the burden a lot. I learned that to forgive someone is to set me free from the burden. Is it easy for me to forgive someone now then? NO! But it is easier than before because I know that to forgive is to set me free and that I can do it with God's love and grace.
I really like what the speaker said.
"There is nothing that is unforgivable"
"To forgive is to set the prisoner free only to discover that the prisoner was you"
Colossians 3:12-13
" Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you."
I know so many people are struggling with forgiveness. I pray that God will speak to the readers and give strength to forgive through this speaker's testimony or my testimony so that they will be set free from the burden.
