Forgiveness among Friends

So I've heard it said that forgiveness is the key to a close relationship with God. When we forgive we humble ourselves, let go of our pride and resentments and allow for the grace of God to work. I've also heard it said that holding on to resentments hurts you more than it hurts the person you are mad at.

When we chose to forgive, we chose to give our brokenness to God to fix. We forgive whoever hurt us and give our hurt to the only One capable of fixing it.

I've heard all this before. But this week? God has been showing me that His word is true. He will restore things that are broken, and work in others' hearts even as He's working in mine.
