You have identified a very legitimate need for more discussion on the “hows” of overcoming the reluctance to forgive. I’ll be giving it thought and prayer. Thanks for the challenging thoughts.

Unless I’ve just missed it, I’ve heard very little taught in the church about the dispensing of forgiveness. Yet it has to be one of the toughest things to do in Christianity. Its almost as tough just to remember to forgive in the midst of daily life. We’ve certainly heard why we need to forgive (because He first forgave us). But the how of forgiveness and the encouragement to forgive in the real world is rarely heard. I really think forgiveness deserves its own series of sermons and/or an entire bible class.
It reminds me of this quote by G.K. Chesterton:
“Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried.”
