Unforgiveness is like carrying a huge, heavy backpack full of rocks everywhere you go. It makes you tired, takes away your happiness, and can even stop your prayers from being answered. But when you forgive quickly, it’s like taking off that heavy backpack — you feel free again!

God tells us to forgive others so that He will forgive us too (Matthew 6:14-15).

Forgiving fast isn’t always easy. Sometimes the hurt feels fresh, the pain feels deep, and you keep thinking about what happened. But if you hold on to hurt, it’s like giving the enemy a chance to make your heart bitter. That’s why we need to pray and ask God for strength to let go.
