50 - Forgiveness for others

'...forgiving one another...' (Ephesians 4:32)

A friend of mine unintentionally did something that hurt my feelings really badly. As I sit and write this my heart battles out how to act towards them.

Am I going to give them the cold shoulder, trying to hurt them as they hurt me? 

Am I going to avoid their company as much as possible?

Or am I going to swallow my pride, suppress my hurt and, with God's power, forgive them? 

Well, I am so thankful to God that I am even able to choose the third option. Without Him, there's no way I could find it in my heart to forgive. 

How is it we are able? See the 51st reason I have found.
