Ephesians 4:32

And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

I am very sorry about the pain many of you have endured. I am not saying that forgiveness is easy, only that it is necessary. I have mentioned Corrie ten Boom before. She was a Dutch watchmaker and Christian who, along with her father and other family members, helped many Jews escape the Nazi Holocaust during World War II by hiding them in her closet. CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE CHRISTIAN SOUL contains her testimony, along with that of a man who was able to forgive a man who had killed his father, mother and two sisters. These, along with lots of prayer, may help you.

God Bless You!
