You can’t give away what you don’t have. If you don’t have love in your heart you can’t give it away. It’s possible, if you’re struggling with unforgiveness in your heart it’s because you don’t fully understand the power of forgiveness. And… to fully understand ultimate forgiveness… you need to be forgiven of your sins. Please listen, we all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. Jesus died for all of that on the cross and through His love and grace, He offers total forgiveness of our sins… if we would only believe and receive His love and forgiveness. With that said, if you have received His unmerited love and forgiveness and are still struggling to forgive someone… (and I say this with love) you are simply acting stubborn, selfish and need make a mature decision and forgive… and keep on forgiving. This does not mean you forget or you don’t create boundaries. Use wisdom. Jesus teaches us this very clearly in the book of Matthew. You can do this.
