Forgiveness:
Forgiveness is making a deliberate choice to release the record of wrongdoing that you have against someone no matter what they did.
God will only forgive our sins when we also forgive others who've sinned against us.

The enemy tries deceiving us by making us believe that unforgiveness gives us power. Unforgiveness doesn't forgiveness doesn't give us power and it in fact wounds us. it's like a cancer, it's something we are carrying around that doesn't belong in our God-given makeup. It sucks the life, joy, and peace out of us and it fosters a cespools for other disorders.
For our own health and wellbeing, we have to choose to dump the files of charges of wrongdoing out of our lives. They aren't helping us, they don't make us more righteous, they can only cripple our health.

1 John 4:7-12 - "Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us."
Isaiah 43:4 - "Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life."
John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 - Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

Minister Love is the willingness to becoming healthy and learning to relate to others in a healthy, godly way:
Giving Forgiveness is love and it starts with self;
Giving grace is love;
Ministering love is acknowledging someone’s personhood. A person should be acknowledged, respected, and loved because they are precious and valuable to God. They’re the image and likeness of God and are made to host God Almighty (the creator and possessor of the heavens & the earth);
Blessing one another everyday as to spouses, family and community is not weird or too radical, it’s ministering love and we were created for it;
Sometimes learning to just listen and allowing someone to be heard can be a ministry of love;
Supporting someone is prayer;
Speaking the truth in love.
