Healing comes when forgiveness has entered. Many people are suffering, terribly suffering for years because they do not want forgiveness to enter their life. Someone might have offended them and it is hurting really bad. There have carried the pains for years without opening their hearts for forgiveness to set in. This kind of conditions give an unknown traumatic condition that is very dangerous to the health. Forgiveness opens the door for healing to come in. Keeping the score of wrong against the one who had cause you offense does not do you any good. It is the entrance of forgiveness that brings healing.
The criteria for receiving forgiveness from God is that we ourselves must forgive those who have sin against us. We must let go of the offense. Losing a brother or a sister is not worth it. Forgiveness is a strong doctrine in the church. Love is of God. God alone can forgive. The devil does not know the language of forgiveness. When we forgive those who sin against us, we make them to have a taste of the love of God. Let us love one another because love is of God. Those who do not love do not know God. How can we say that we love God when we cannot love the brother or sister that we are seeing. Why people can not forgive and erase the evil that someone had done to them out of their hearts is because they are not walking in love.
