forgive

[SherylsShado]

I always thought forgiveness was easier than "holding on to" things.....and you really can't move forward, when all the stuff you are holding onto is holding you back.  It really isn't worth destroying your health or losing health over.  "Let It Go"...wise words imo.

Yes, it is hard but important to forgive.

I agree wholeheartedly.   It's not always easy but in the long run it helps the one who was wronged more than the one who committed the wrong.

Forgiveness is easier said than done...

I agree with all of you but I still feel that someone who does wrong should really only be forgiven if they sincerely ask for forgiveness! After all, the person who has been wronged is the victim here, not the bully or the heartless person who caused grief. I believe G-D knows this and does not want the victim to be a patsy by turning a cheek and allow people to walk all over them. After all, these bad people most of the time don't get punished for their sins, I think not being forgiven is going real easy on these mean turkeys.

It is good to forgive. Sometimes though you can forgive, but never forget. Unfortunately.

So true we need to learn to let go so that we can move on.

Forgiving is a lot easier than forgetting sometimes....

I thought our heavenly father and creator was "God" ... lol. Oh well... WE all must have forgiving hearts against the people that wronged us or we can cause sickness to ourselves. I have forgiven and let go of so many things BUT I will never forget. And the other parties know of this, therefore you will see a turn around in them as well. Keep ugly out of your heart and out of your mind. There is no room for the ugly in my world!

The sermon in church I heard today stressed the importance of forgiving those that offend you because if I don't forgive, I am holding myself captive and cannot fully move forward because I am still focusing of that offense. This could cause stress in me that can lead to high blood pressure and other affliction.

Forgiveness is required...it doing it for you not the other person...Forgiveness without affection is allowed by God it really does the soul good to forgive...good luck and pray about it let God know how you feel you will guide you if you let him <3

  Forgiveness is for you. The other person is unaware of your dilemma.

Forgiveness is the greatest gift you can give yourself yet the hardest one to accomplish.
Leaving it in Gods Hands is the best solution to any problem.

Forgiveness can be the hardest thing to give. Someone can do something so wrong to you that you don't if you could ever forgive them. I know that if I ever did something horribly to someone (and I have) that I would not expect them to forgive me, but I hope they would. And so I forgive others though it may take time.

It's important to forgive. It can be difficult though. I hope you are having a good day.
