FORGIVENESS ISN'T A FEELING

Want to be like Jesus? To forgive is to be like Jesus. But know this, forgiveness does not come by way of emotion, but it comes by way of volition. In other words, if you are waiting until you feel like forgiving, you will be waiting forever because forgiveness isn't a feeling. Therefore, ask God for His strength to forgive and He will help you go the length to forgive. "Bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do" (Colossians 3:13).
