What is forgiveness?
Forgiveness is an intentional decision to release resentment, malice or vengeance towards a person, group or organization that has offended or harmed you, irregardless of the fact of whether or not they deserve it or not.
At the end of the day, you forgiving someone is for the enrichment of your soul and your soul alone.
Have you not offended or harmed someone be it intentional or not? Then, how can you expect forgiveness if you are unwilling to forgive others?
Forgiving is a ACTION WORD.
IT IS A CHOICE, just as it is a choice to live in bitterness, malice and resentment.
Un-forgiveness is a self made prison that can manifest itself by way of mental and physical illnesses.
FORGIVE, so you can be set FREE & LIVE.
Forgive the pain, grief, the loss of the offense/harm/damage.
“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” - Ephesians 4:32

Our soul is made up of:
THE MIND (Proverbs 2:10, Proverbs 19:21 & 24:14, Psalm 139:14, Psalm 13:2, Lamentations 3:20)
THE WILL (Job 7:15 & 6:7, Numbers 30:2, 1 Chronicles 22:19)
THE EMOTION (Song of Songs 1:7, Psalm 107:18, Psalm 42:1, 2 Samuel 5:8, Psalm 107:18)
When we pick up God's word for ourselves it comes alive.
Continue to seek HIS face, find a BIBLE TEACHING church where you can gather and assemble (yes there is a difference between the two), learn, grow & go.

When we put our trust in man they are certain to fail as putting your faith in man will lead to nothing but disappointment which turns into malice, bitterness, resentment, hatred... the list goes on.
To trust means to believe in to hope in truth.
What is truth? Truth is a fact or belief that is accepted as true.
What is true? True is in accordance with fact or reality.
Maybe trust is a word that many people do not understand.
What if trust is broken (with man) is hard to mend. When trust is broken, in order to mend acknowledging, validating and forgiving the offense is imperative.
So who do you have trust in? Is it GOD or man (little god)?
The reality is this, The LORD GOD {Sovereign God} says:
I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God.
I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me, so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting people may know there is none besides me. I am the Lord, and there is no other. I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the Lord, do all these things. Isaiah 45: 5-7
"But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
whose confidence is in him." - Jeremiah 17:7

To surrender to God is to give HIM control of our lives.
We all are surrendering to someone or something. Is it God or the world?
How do you surrender and let God?
We surrender our will and allow HIS will to take over.
Surrendering is a moment-by-moment process.
IT IS A CHOICE.
