CREATE POSITIVE FEELINGS -Continue

 Jehovah wants to be forgiving. (Colossians 3:13) Even so, we may struggle to forgive others. But we can do it if we do not ignore our feelings and make the effort to deal with them.  Then we can create new positive feelings. - See the box "Three Steps to Forgiveness." 

We have many reasons to be forgiving. Consider just some of them. First, we imitate and please our merciful Father, Jehovah. (Luke 6:36) Second, we show gratitude for the forgiveness Jehovah has kindly extended to us.  (Matthew 6:12) And third, we enjoy better health and keep our friendships strong.
