"How Do I Forgive?" 02-17-13 Dan DeWitt FBC Caney KS - Sermon Videos

Your spouse cheated on you. Your best friend lied to you. Your business associate betrayed you. Your father abandoned you. Your older cousin abused you when you were a child. Your sister humiliated you in public. The list goes on and on. . . .

We have all been hurt by someone – and hurt deeply. We feel angry. We feel hurt. We feel like we can’t let go of the angry, bitter feelings. We want revenge. We hold a grudge. It’s the most natural feeling in the world!

There’s just one problem: the only person you are really hurting is yourself! Our anger and bitterness is like a cancer which slowly poisons our very soul. The best thing you can do to improve your spiritual, emotional and physical well-being is to forgive others. Is it any wonder Jesus told us to? It’s for our own good!

It may be easy to say the words, but how can we really turn loose of the anger and resentment?
