Does anyone thing those folks who drove nails into the Savior's hands and feet ASKED or even recognized their NEED for forgiveness on that day? Yet Christ said, "Father, forgive them for they not what they do." And He told us many times that He and the Father are One. Ditto Pat Baker. WE are the ones who turn bitter and angry while we carry the burden of unforgiveness; it hurts us far more than the other person.

They may never know you have forgiven them but you do and that makes a difference in you and your attitude. Forgiveness is more for you than for the person you are forgiving.
