12 Bible Verses When You Are Having Trouble Forgiving

forgive: to stop feeling angry or resentful towards someone for an offense, flaw, or mistake.

Forgiving is one of those things people don't do very often, but we should. We fail our heavenly Father daily, but He forgives us.

EVERY TIME

6. 1 John 1:9

"But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness."

7. Matthew 26: 28

"for this is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice to forgive the sins of many."

8. Psalms 130:4

"But you offer forgiveness, that we might learn to fear you."

9. Luke 17:4

"Even if that person wrongs you seven times a day and each time turns again and asks forgiveness, you must forgive."

10. Luke 1:77 

"You will tell his people how to find salvation through forgiveness of their sins."

"But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too."

12. Luke 11: 4

"and forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. And don't let us yield to temptation."

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
