It's a choice, it's ALL about choice. If it were some part of our genetic code then it wouldn't be a choice and it would completely defeat the purpose. People who forgive others are not better/worse or stronger/weaker... they've just CHOSEN to forgive someone. And sometimes they have to choose the same thing every morning they wake up. Because forgiveness isn't an instantaneous thing, it's more of a process. LOL… that’s because it’s not a gene, sweetie! It’s a choice, it’s ALL about choice.

We often feel we have to "work out" our salvation, or that we MUST feel guilty so that we can somehow PAY for our sins. But we can't. We are completely unable to pay for our sins because that bill has already been paid. We must accept the forgiveness and have the courage to live as a forgiven person. Why is that hard? Because it forces us to realize that to be a forgiven person, we must forgive others. Actually, my friend, there is no guilt in Christ.
