I've been thinking a lot about forgiveness lately.
I've had to ask for forgiveness a lot of times in my life
because you see I make lots of mistakes
and I hurt people unintentionally.
It's scary apologizing to someone you love and asking them to forgive you.
But when they offer that forgiveness freely
the feeling is unexplainable.
There's also been a few times when people have sought my forgiveness
and giving it to them is a beautiful thing!
I've also learned that sometimes you have to remind yourself that you forgave them
and even do it again.
But what I'm really wondering about;
what has my mind all muddled is...
What do you do when someone has hurt you but doesn't apologize
and more importantly, doesn't ask for forgiveness.
Hmmmmm.
I believe that God wants us to forgive them anyway
but is it just me or does that seem harder to do when they don't fess up to what they've done?
