HAVING A HARD TIME FORGIVING SOMEONE? Lets talk... First let me say that I completely understand how difficult it is! Furthermore, I understand the pressure placed on you by those of us who want you to get over it as if there is some switch that you click and its done. Forgiveness is actually a process!! The TRUTH is that forgiveness is MUCH easier when it is the result of REPENTANCE...You know, when the person who offended you comes to you and apologizes. Unfortunately, we dont tell the offender the value of their repentance so the one who is offended is left with all off these UNRESOLVED feelings but being told to let it go. If youve ever been offended, you know a few things about it: 1. You know that the closer the person is to you, the deeper the hurt can actually be from the offense. 2. You know that it is very difficult to separate the person from the offense. 3. You know that your soul now has a wound in it and YOU NEED HEALING. So, how do you reconcile what youre being told (let it go) with how you are feeling? GREAT QUESTION In a perfect world, all who are offended would receive an apology from the one who offended and this would make forgiveness easier. Unfortunately, the world isnt perfect and neither are people. Heres how you get there... Dont feel pressured by those who say let it go. Go to God and ask Him to HEAL your SPIRIT. Some wounds dont leave because we just want them to. While talking to God, be honest. Tell Him how you really feel. None of the religious talk that many think is prayer. Eventually, God will help you to overcome what has now become the real problem and that is:THEY DIDNT EVEN SAY THEY WERE SORRY! #ItMayBeaProcess #YouWillGetThere #ImPrayingForYou
