       Bottom line, it’s good for us to verbalize our forgiveness, as that makes it so that there is nothing hidden between us and God. The reality is, we let outside things, the problems in life, offenses from other people, etc, bother us only as much as we choose or want to. That is, just because bad things may be happening at a particular time in our lives, that doesn’t mean we have to let our minds be a slave to those things. The Apostle Peter told us more than once to be sober-minded. He said we should do this so we can pray. We need to have sober minds if we want to be close to God and focus on him. Having a mind that is saturated in a problem or problems can wreck our fellowship with God. We can’t even focus on him because we are too wrapped up in a problem we have. We need to learn to forgive others as soon as we possibly can so that offenses are not weighing down on our minds and causing us to be clouded and upset, not really able to focus on anything with one hundred percent effort. Learning to quickly forgive and not let the offense set into our minds can be of great advantage to us.
