It took me 47 years to forgive my father. God wants you to forgive. How can you be forgiven if you do not forgive?

I agree with Lincoln. My daughter is 8 y/o n her Bio father is not n her life n husband has been there 4 her since she was 2 n I thank God for him. I will someday have to teach my daughter about forgiving her dad for not being there for her.
