Forgiveness is a form of trusting God

I just heard a really neat piece of insight about unforgiveness. The minister said that one of the reasons that we find it hard to forgive somebody, is because we have a hard time trusting God with that situation; maybe God won’t punish them enough, or would forgive them and let them off the hook (just as He’s let us off the hook!).

Forgiveness then, is a form of trusting God. It’s putting out trust in Him with that particular situation, and knowing that His way of handling things is far better than ours.
