Forgiveness


Feelings get hurt, rumors get started, someone gets left out. It’s hard to forgive these things. Does God expect me to forgive someone who treated me this way, especially if it happens repeatedly? God understands that forgiving others is hard. But it’s easier when we remember that He forgives us – no matter what! When I forget to talk to Him or disobey Him, He forgives me anyway. When I remember how good God is to me, it’s easier to forgive someone else, as we always should.
Please don't name any names, and answer the following:
Read one of the following verses (Psalm 86:5, Micah 7:18, Matthew 6:12-15, or 1 John 1:9) and write your thoughts on forgiveness. In your answer, you may choose to include answers to: What do you need to forgive someone for? What have you, personally, needed forgiveness for?

  7. I need forgiveness for talking back to my parents. I need to forgive a lot of people for diffrent things they have done to me. I think forgiveness is trusting someone and saying its ok to something wrong they did to you.

  8. The Lord is good in many ways to us, because he is always forgiving us.I need to forgive somebody because I sometimes feel irritated with them. Once I was forgiven by somebody when I was yelling at them.

  11. I have many people i have to forgive. But i cant. I cant forgive them for what they have done to me. Some have burned me to hard. But all have used me. And some I cant forget. But the one i cant forget is the one i thought was my "BEST FRIEND". But is using me. It hurts being used. Ive been used all my life. And when i got here to this school i thought it was different. But i was wrong. Being used;slapped, and made fun of was enough i guess not for them. Over and over being humiliated. And i cant really forgive them. But im forgive them all. For what they have done to me. JENNIFER

  21. In the bible is tons of life changing words that teach us many lessons and one was about forgiveness and it says that forgiving others and if you don't it just makes things worse. for example if your friend says sorry and you don't forgive them than look where the friendship is its gone and no one wants to be alone. And I need to forgive someone for treating me in a way that I didn't like and as a sinner I have made many mistakes myself like being selfish by not sharing and keeping it to myself and being bossy because I admit when I don't want to do something I won't do it but I am trying to fix that and everyone wants to change something about them self so I am not alone

  27. We often think that we can't forgive friends because what they hurt our feelings real bad. We need to remeber that if God can forgive us no matter what, we can forgive our friends no matter what.
