Many find it so very hard to forgive others because the wrong done against them seems too great. However great the the injury or the hurt may be to self, it is but one thing. In the Our Father, we petition that we be forgiven of all our sins, and this often without any inventory of our offenses.
When forgiving another seems too great, to much for you to do, consider the reality that God has forgiven you far more than the single offense done to you. Consider further that each day your heavenly Father forgives you much more than any one person could ever possibly sin against you in their entire life time.
Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.
Col 3:12-13 (ESV)
