My Word says to give thanks in all things and for all things. A life of thanksgiving is a forgiving life.
When you are grateful even for the small blessings in life, you will not have a problem forgiving others. It is only when you are disatisfied with yourself or with others that you open yourself to give in to the ugly temptation not to forgive.
"Thanksgiving" and "Forgiving" both end in the word, "giving." My Father so loved the world that He gave Me to purchase forgiveness with My own shed blood for you and all those who believe on Me. A selfish life is an dissatisfied life and a life of bitterness. When you are unwilling to forgive another, you are saying that you are more important than the person I want you to forgive.
I exhort you to be thankful today for everyone who is in your life. When you have a grateful heart, you will have a forgiving heart.
