learning to forgive fast

Ephesians 4:32 tells us to forgive one another, even as God in Christ forgave us.
Verse 26 encourages to be fast with our forgiveness. Don't let the sun go down on your wrath.
Be fast to forgive, for every unforgiving moment of our lives steals our spiritual blessings and the authority of our spiritual influence.
We don't plan on forgiving later.
We forgive without demanding a reason for it.
Nobody has to deserve to be forgiven.
Any other attitude will end up with an aggression that will be expressed sooner or later.
Forgiveness might not look like a good deal, but it definitely is God's way of dealing with problems.
Fast forgiveness cuts the wings from evil.
After all,only God can forgive sins. Mark 2:7
Our forgiveness is actually just our agreement with that what God has done.
Outside of God's overwhelming love none of us could forgive anyone,
not even ourselves.
