Do you have a forgiving heart?

People always need to forgive and forget. If God didn't do it for us, where would we be? We should try to follow God's example and forgive people who make mistakes. I try to whenever I can, but I know that it's hard sometimes. But imagine having no one to forgive you. Every mistake you made would be held against you. The thing I don't like is when people say that they can never forgive someone...why not? Don't we all mess up from time to time?

I think that it is easier to forgive the person then to try to forget. Right now I am dealing with this same thing. I want to forgive & I have forgave. Now forgetting is another story. I just wish it never happen because all I do is ponder over it. The hows & whys. IT SUCKS!! I think in time I will forget easier once more trust is earned back. Good luck for the both of us & everyone like us.

Your like me, I forgive way to easily. This is both a good and bad thing. Just make sure that you forgive someone for the right reasons. Personally I have had tons of experience with forgiving people, even when I probably shouldn't have. I remember this one time when my friend in whom I went out with hurt me really bad. I forgive her because I wanted to be with her, only a couple of day later to hurt me again. Anyway my point is dont forgive someone who may hurt you again, and don't forgive everyone. God bless you,

Forgive and forget..then you will be forgived for a mistake that is done by u...never keep any revenge for that person..even if u feel hatred for that person at the first time you know he/she trying to do something to you intentionally overcome it and try ur best 2 be the best of urs to all...u will be d best in God's book...

Yes I have a forgiving heart and I also have expectations in my relationships. The only thing that's hard for me to forgive is a breaking of trust. When we are honest with ourselves and the people in our lives, there is a certain freedom we experience. That freedom means the world to me.

Good question.

I am not one to easily forgive and forget.

I am pretty bitter and jaded in life as it is so whens someone crosses me knowing this it is really hard to trust them again a nd act like it never happened and wont happen again.

Sure I would like to be more forgiving but it is really hard so the blanket response to people isdon'tt do it if I am that important to you and being in your life.

I am very cut and dry.

I forgive others more easily than myself, actually. Especially if I stay in a relationship where someone has done wrong and they do it again. This is why I don't do it anymore. I forgive and move on.

I know exactly where you are coming from :) i personally can forgive anyone for anything but there is one person in my life that i cant for he really did me dirty. i like him as a person and had feelings for him badly but in my heart i cant forgive him for the simple fact of what he has done to me and that person actually laughed at me for that so NO i can not forgive that one person. I hope i helped you by my personal experience. BEST WISHES kiddo ................... and yes i know the old phrase forgive and forget but you have to do what ya have to do :)

I do have a forgiving heart, to the point that at times I'm a doormat. I have one person in my life that I constantly forgive, yet he just keeps on hurting me.

I forgive, because that is what Jesus wants us to do. It's easier to forgive than stay mad all the time.

Forgiving heart will get you peace and happiness.

Smart one wont go by dirt to wash up later. They avoid it.

Nothing can touch you if you are clean, straight and self confident. No one can bring har. So what abt forgiveness?
