Forgiveness is one of the hardest thing to do. Especially if the person who hurt you is whom you love and trusted. I recently went through that exact situation while I was screaming and crying my heart out, a still small voice said "forgive and ye shall be forgiven and forgive not and ye shall not be forgiven". In my mind I was thinking I won't forgive him unless he apologized first. I just should ignore him and don't talk to him for as long as it takes. But the Holy Spirit was convicting me saying " if you do that then you'll start to have bitterness grows in your heart and that bitterness will soon strangle you up. The person that will be in pain is you. ". I was thinking true because that has happened before but I really want to avoid him but something in me said if I did that then the devil would win against in this battle and would loose all my peace and joy and eventually make the family worse. So I decided to obey God and didn't let the sun go down on my anger and pray to God and ask for forgiveness and choose to forgive my husband.After a couple of days acting like usual my husband apologize and I forgave him not because if him but to set myself free from any resentment towards him and to keep bitterness from taking roots within me. After all that I finally have some peace. Forgiveness is something that we must do and it's not an option but a commandment because said we have to forgive each other then our father in heaven can forgive us of our sins. So whatever others might do to you, forgive them for they knew not what they do. As Jesus said it at the cross. When we are a Christian we should act more like Christ because he lives inside of us and we need to show Jesus to the whole world. Be blessed everyone and I hope you are encouraged through this.
