We all experience moments when someone wounds us deeply. Naturally, our response may be to cling to that pain and build walls around our hearts. Yet, biblical forgiveness invites us to rise above, rooted in our obedience to God rather than our emotions.

Biblical forgiveness does not hinge on whether someone deserves it; it focuses on our choice to follow God’s command to forgive. It does not excuse the offense or insist that we forget. Trust may remain broken, and healthy boundaries might still be necessary. However, forgiveness is ultimately a decision to release our burdens to God and let Him handle justice.

Unforgiveness harms us more than the person who hurt us. While they may move on, we find ourselves trapped, replaying the pain. Choosing forgiveness liberates us, freeing our hearts from bitterness and our minds from torment. It opens the door to the peace that comes from trusting God rather than trying to control outcomes.

Some days, we must choose forgiveness repeatedly. It is not always easy, and it may not mend every relationship. But it offers something far greater: the gift of freedom. In the end, the key question is not whether someone deserves forgiveness, but whether you deserve to live free.
