The Love Of God In Me

I am so thankful to know that God is working in me to change me every day.
How do I know this? One way I know is when I come face to face with a person who has been the source of so much hurt,bitterness,resentment,unforgiveness and, even hate in my life.....I can say Lord, I choose to forgive him. How can I do this? This person has never admitted that he did anything wrong. I have never heard him say that he was sorry for how his actions affected and, shaped my life and the life of my siblings. I hardly know him even though I am part of him. This person has never said that he loves me or has ever shown it physically. He messed me up emotionally and, others till this day, until I decided to be free from my past.
Forgiveness is truly a choice. The person may not deserve it or ever ask for it. When I think of how God has forgiven me even though I didn't deserve it, I can Forgive. I can Love who God loves even though they may be unlovable. Hurting people truly hurts other people.
