Forgiveness

WOW! We had an amazing time today, as a group, sharing about the complete and total forgiveness of God and then worshiping Him after.
As I went on to the next lesson I was once again encouraged by reading the Faith Builder story. Here is what encouraged me, as I was still thinking about forgiveness and the wholeness of it:
"...when the Holy Spirit reminded her (Sue) that it was from the cross - from the intense agony of the cross - that Jesus spoke and gave forgiveness, Sue knew He wanted her to do the same."
She goes on to say that at that moment she needed to make a choice: was she going to forgive or was she going to become a "bitter old woman". Sound familiar girls?! :)
How can we not forgive, if Christ forgave us!
Forgiveness. What a blessing that has been given to us.
