what does 'as we forgive the wrongs that others have done to us' actually mean? i understand the basic principle, but how is applied in life and how does a christian show forgiveness? must it be an internal forgiveness as well as an external showing of forgiveness?

Well I'll ask this again as I'm not getting much interest it seems in what God's Kingdom will do for all of us if we want it. Any ideas or thoughts?
"Many pray for God's Kingdom, but what is this Kingdom and what will it do for all who want it? Should we put our faith in it or mans kingdoms?"

from Rwanda come to our church, they belong to a group called PHARP, and
the stories of forgiveness just made you want to weep. People who had their
familes murdered forgiving the murders and not only that but helping those
that did that while they were in prison for those murders. The blood shed
there was just something I had a hard time wrapping my mind around, and
the grace and mercy shown that was helping break the cycle of death and
destruction was just mind blowing.
After listening to them all petty stuff here seemed so well petty, then on
judgment day when we all stand before God with those people there having
forgiven the wrongs done to them and we listen those here who cannot get
over a cross word or something else so small it will be revealing.
We do well to live a life of grace!

Originally posted by KellyJayit would be interesting to get inside their heads and understand what forgiveness actually means to them. i remember watching a married couple talk about forgiving the man who killed their son. to them forgiveness meant that they wanted to help the man sort his life out and get on the right track, they wanted him to be a better person rather than punish him. the father said despite wanting a better life for the man they still hated him. although they met him a couple of times, most of the work they did for him was without contact. i can believe this type of forgiveness and they are great people for what they did. i find it hard to believe that people can forgive completely and have no negative feeling towards the person that has caused them harm.
