Forgiveness is the power tool to uproot bitterness

In Christ, forgiveness is the power tool to uproot bitterness. It is the door to healing; the window that allows light to brighten your soul. In Matthew 6:14, Jesus said, " For if you forgive men their sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins."Forgiveness is giving up your right to demand payment or punishment of sin. It is letting go of your offender by saying, " He/she has no more sin against me." By this attitude, you are preventing demons of bitterness, and the desire to punish and curse from infesting your environment. Darkness could NOT come in to curse your offenders. By your forgiveness, you have protected them from being oppressed by demons. You have set them free from the demons of guilt, condemnation and curse. In a wider scale, you have set them free from also spreading pain or from offending others. This is the godly effect of forgiveness, which is the key to loving our enemies.
