Before I got to learn more about Jesus, there was one person in my life. Even though I wasn’t in touch with the guy anymore, it was really hard for me to forgive him. There were bad things I just couldn’t forget about. Any time I remembered those things, I felt miserable and when I saw him somewhere, I could feel my heart aching. I thought I would faint. As I started to attend the Bible group regularly I felt that I seriously needed to forgive. I started looking for some practical advice from Stano – leader of our Bible group and other believers. However, the whole process was difficult for me. I struggled with myself in prayers and after a few months, I actually understood that all this was a spiritual battle. And afterwards I felt no anger or bitterness anymore. Instead, I was praying for the person from my heart and I wished for him to also get to know the living Jesus Christ. When the burden of the unforgiveness was taken off my shoulders, suddenly I felt very joyful and relieved.
A year had passed, when I heard from him. He was very remorseful for treating me badly.
My conscience was clear and I felt very joyful and free to assure the man that he didn’t have to worry because I had forgiven him. Not long ago and unexpectedly I met the person again, but there was a big difference inside me. I didn’t feel any pain in my chest anymore and the sorrow was also gone. However, I was feeling overjoyed since I knew that thanks God I was genuinely able to forgive and that forgiveness was not only in my mind.
