FORGIVENESS MEANS YOU PRAY FOR THEM. YOU STOP TALKING UGLY ABOUT THEM. SAYS, “BLESS, AND DO NOT CURSE THEM.” AND TO BLESS MEANS SPEAK WELL OF, THE CURSE MEANS SPEAK EVIL OF. AND IF THEY NEED HELP, YOU HELP THEM. YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO FORGIVE PEOPLE. YOU THINK THAT’S NOT A BLESSING? IT’S A BLESSING. YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE MAD, YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE ANGRY, YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE UPSET, YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE OFFENDED. YOU CAN GET SO GOOD AT FORGIVING PEOPLE STILL OFFENDING YOU, YOU CAN FORGIVE THEM. “YOU SAY, WELL AFTER WHAT THEY DID TO ME THEY DON’T DESERVE FORGIVENESS.” NO, YOU’RE RIGHT, THEY DON’T. BUT I GUESS YOU DID, HUH?
