Forgiveness in an Electronic Age


The link below takes you to a fascinating story of a Tweeter facing his Troll. If that doesn’t make sense, have a read.
We need to forgive. If we hold on to a grudge, if we choose not to forgive, it’s us that ends up hurting, not them. We remember the incident. We are the ones that don’t sleep well. We are the ones churned up with anger. We are the ones to get bitter.
If Jesus could forgive his own murderers, (Luke 23: 33-34) surely, we can let go of that injustice, the anger that accompanied it, and find there is life beyond the hurt.
Sometimes it’s hard. Sometimes the thing done against us is enormous. Life and death issues.
But still forgive. For your own sakes.
