Forgiving your offender or defaulter does not only help him or her. Moreover, it helps you that was offended to be at peace with your own self and most importantly with God (Almighty). Yes! you heard me right as usual. Besides that, anyone who refuses to forgive his or her fellow human is an enemy of God. And until and unless he or she forgives his or her offender or defaulter. He or she (the person in question) will never be in good terms with God (mark you). -Emeasoba George
