Is it possible to forgive this?

In the Passion Translation, there is a powerful version of the “Our Father” prayer. Most know that we are to forgive our debtors, but this version says it this way: “Forgive us the wrongs we have done as we ourselves
release forgiveness to those who have wronged us”. The Father forgives our wrongs and debts, but He expects us to also release forgiveness  to those who have wronged us! The love that God extends to us is beyond comprehension. However, as His children and representatives, we have the privilege and honor to also extend forgiveness to others just as He extends us His forgiveness and love. The word Gospel means “good news.” What better news than the fact that God in Christ has forgiven us! In the same manner, we get the privilege to extend God’s love through us as we forgive those who have wronged us. Forgiveness is difficult. That is one of the reasons why it’s a precious gift. When you extend the gift of forgiveness, you are helping to give someone a second chance. God has given us new life, so with his help, we can also give new life to broken relationships. 

Matthew 6: 12 “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors”.
