To have a Forgiving Heart

To live a healthy life, we need to have a forgiving heart so that we are not consumed by anger and hurt. The poisonous emotions can eat into us and take the vitality out of our lives. We need to forgive those who have hurt us for our own good - not theirs! This is so that we do not carry unnecessary burden or baggage in our hearts. Jesus has told us to forgive unlimited times because in life, we are bound to get hurt by those around us or even petty strangers. Hence, for a peaceful mind, it is better to forgive and forget and then move on with life.
