Forgiveness is a topic that is relevant to every person who has ever lived. We all need forgiveness, and we all need to give forgiveness. However, before we can tackle what forgiveness is, we need to address some faulty thinking when it comes to forgiveness. There are several things that forgiveness is not. It is not having a good feeling towards the person who wronged you. If you are waiting to feel good towards the person who hurt you, you are going to wait a long time. Forgiveness is not simply

Agree ..but on the flip side..

whnu forgive, u longer feel resentment or cry for justice.

yes u dont have  to LOVE the person who hurt u..

u dont have to become ‘friends’ again..

forgiveness simply means ‘letting it go’ n dont cry for justice !! U no longer hurt n feel the need for payback etc etc

I have forgiven folks..even those who have never said sorry or even acknowledged they were wrong.

forgiveness is for one’s own peace of mind!

i also thing of myself..not perfect..making mistakes .

itis easy to ask God to forgive my mistakes..

so i ought to forgive others too ..with God’s help n my willingness, itis possible.

holding on to grudges is like ingesting poison ..i have been there n   done that..
