1. Stop setting limitations on forgiveness.

a. The Hurt is too big.

b. I need more time.

See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled;

Hebrews 12:15 (NASB95)

c. They aren’t really sorry.

d. They’ll just do it again.

2. See your great need for forgiveness.

“Until you see the seriousness of your sin, you will never grasp the greatness of His grace.”

3. Start practicing authentic forgiveness.

a. Unforgiveness leaves shattered relationships.

b. We lose the respect of others.

c. We experience the displeasure of our King.

For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.

Matthew 6:14–15 (NASB95)
