Forgiveness is not an option. Jesus commands us to forgive, but how do we forgive those who hurt us?

Sometimes you have been hurt so badly that you can't see the person who hurt you as a human being anymore.

When we are hurt by another, it is easy to blame them, hold on to the pain and forget that they too were once little children like us who have been taught to act in certain ways.

We also must remember that God has a plan for every person on earth, even if they don't believe in him or her.

Forgiveness is not an option because if we refuse to forgive someone who has wronged us, then we are holding on to their sin against us and that makes us just as guilty as the one who has wronged us.

Forgiveness allows our hearts and minds to be set free from bitterness and anger towards those who have hurt us so that we can move forward with our lives without carrying around all the baggage from the past with us wherever we go.

In this episode of the Purpose and Life Podcast, listen as Pastor Christine Desiree teaches on how to move past the pain and forgive others, even when they have hurt us.
