I hear what you're saying. I've been tested with my own really difficult thing to forgive, just over a year ago now - and I'm still dealing with that.

It's a walk - understanding my own emotions and the difference between righteous anger, which we can definitely have (according to the Bible) - and a desire for Vengeance.

Understanding that according to the Bible "Vengeance is the Lord's" - I have to walk towards the goal of - literally giving my desire for Vengeance - over to the Lord.

And this is also a huge test of what Forgiveness is - in this huge test of Forgiveness, I was able to understand better - the monumental amount of Grace God has given us - for killing Jesus, His perfect son.

Imagine having your perfect son, killed the way Jesus was. Can you imagine how angry you would be?

Now can you also imagine how much you would have to love someone to allow that to happen to your son - because your son was the only way those people (you and me) - could be with God in Heaven when we die?

It's a wild story! These are huge big things.

You illustrate very well the difficulty in these things for us to be able to do ourselves - which is why we bow to God and recognize why we Needed Jesus' sacrifice.
