Being forgiven lifts a load away, it gives you a sense of knowing God loves you and is always with you. It allows you to constantly talk with God, tell Him how you feel, it allows you to be able to forgive and love others. When you are forgiven you are cleanse, you are motivated to do good and express your love in the things you do, the way you behave and your constantly want in the light with God.

In Genesis Chp 50, after the death of Jacob,his sons were afraid that their brother Joseph would paid them back for the evil they did to him long ago, so they send message and beg his forgiveness, this made Joseph wept. Joseph had forgiven them long ago because God was with him from the day they through him into that pit, he was sad, he was mad and probably hated them for a while, but he said "god turned into good what you meant for evil," you see if Joseph had choosen not to forgive, he would never be able to grow in Christ.

Forgiveness is acting out of love, we do not deserve God's forgiveness because He send His only son to die for our sins yet we do not obey Him as we ought to. This says a lot more than we can express or imagine, but at times it is hard for us to forgive others and leave everything in God's hand.

When you are forgiven you become free of anger, hatred, malice, bitterness and the power of prayer and of love and God's grace and mercy surronds you.

Love God, love others and trust Him to do His will in your life today, forgive and be forgiven.
