Biblical Answer

The Bible teaches that forgiveness is a choice, not a feeling. It's a decision we make to release the debt, to cancel the obligation, and to let go of the anger and resentment. In the case of bankruptcy, forgiveness is not about canceling the debt to the creditors, but about canceling the debt to ourselves, the debt of guilt, shame, and anger that we carry with us. When we forgive, we release ourselves from the burden of that debt, and we can begin to heal and move forward.

To forgive is not to forget, but to choose to let go of the past. It's not to ignore the hurt or the pain, but to release the hold it has on us. Forgiveness is a process, and it takes time, effort, and intention. It's not something we do once and then forget about it, but something we work on every day. When we forgive, we are not saying that what happened was okay, but that we are choosing not to let it define us. We are choosing to release the power it has over us, and to move forward with our lives.
