As soon as someone does something to you - to forgive them instantly. Without a moment's hesitation.
In my reading of the Bible I see so many times when the Lord forgives people instantly, totally, and without conditions. And then He gets straight on with loving them. Blessing them even!
The Lord shows us the way in being forgiving. His classic example is him on the cross. Beaten and tortured. Mocked. He forgives and gets straight into loving everybody.
I want to be able to instantly forgive people. And then turn around and bless them. Is that an awesome way to show them God's love in me or what!
In the few occasions I have done this it has probably blessed me more than the person I have forgiven.
