To forgive means to stop feeling angry with somebody who has done something to harm, annoy or upset you, or to Stop feeling with yourself.
Forgiveness is just like letting go of something you've held at heart or someone you've stopped from moving, by stopping someone from moving or going somewhere you're also stopping yourself but if you release the person, you also release yourself and you both are free.
Forgiveness is not limited to Christians only, someone from any other religion is entitled to practice it because by forgiving, you experience freedom and an inner joy.
By not forgiving you're carrying a load that can weigh you down at any point of your life, it makes you blind to opportunities and even hinders you from getting the benefits you're entitled to.
Forgiveness is very important to man as it makes him free from guilt and saves him from thinking or implementing evil. It paves way for us to be forgiven of all our atrocities by God e.g is cited in Matt: 6 vs 14-15.
If God forgives us of all the evil and sins we commit daily just on a request then we have no reason for not forgiving people no matter how hurt, upset or annoyed we are.
