This may seem a little strange for a tip on giving back, but I couldn’t help but think about the gift of forgiveness… to the forgiver… and the forgiven.
How many people have gone to their graves holding on to an offense?
Do you know of relationships that have been destroyed due to lack of forgiveness?
You’ve known people who have shipwrecked their entire lives by holding on to bitterness!
Take out a sheet of paper and create 2 two columns: To Forgive and Be Forgiven. Make a list of those you need to forgive.
Pray for the strength to forgive them.
If you can, write them a letter or call them and extend your forgiveness. If that person has already passed, write them a letter.
If you need to ask for forgiveness, pray and call. If you can’t call them, write them a letter.
You will be the biggest beneficiary of this gift.
