Some Keys That Can Help You To Forgive

A number of people forget of these fundamental issues regarding their life and others causing them to have much difficulty to forgive others. Some of the things we have to consider are;

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger,

Brawling and slander, along with very form of malice.

Be kind and compassionate to one another,

Forgiving each other, just as in

Christ God forgave you.

Ephesians 4:31,32

1.     Expect You Will Be Offended

I wonder how people forget the fact that we live in a world that anything can happen at any point in time. They also fail to remember that they can offend someone without being aware that what they are doing can offend that individual. At times, it will surprise you to know that some refuse to forgive others all because they lack the heart that can make them to forgive others when they are offended.

This mostly leads to harming those we thought they have offended us and they the cause of what we are being offended for.

Let me share with you this experience of mine between a young girl and boy. “When I completed my Senior High School, I decided to help my mother at where she sells on a school campus. On this precious they, it was break time for the students to go and eat.

When they were all rushing to eat, unfortunately for this young girl who was also rushing to come and buy her food, fell down heavily. Why? Because her leg hit something she thought is a trap set by a young boy whose mother is also selling on the campus. She quickly turned and powerfully also hit the back of this poor innocent boy.

The boy cried bitterly and it touches the heart of every body that was present. But for this that occurred to the son of this young boy, the mother with all bitterness tried everything to forgive this young girl” so we have to know that at all areas of our life we can offend others without being aware and others we thought they have offend us.

It’s good to forgive others who offend us all because by all means we will be offended.

2.     The Offender Expects You To Forgive Him Or Her

Mostly those who offend you without being aware expect you to forgive them and also at times those that are aware that what they are really doing will offend their fellow. This also mostly make those who offend you without being aware to say sorry for what they have done and expecting you to forgive them.

Let us make our selves clear that no matter what they do to you, you have to be ready to forgive those that will offend us because you have to get it well in you mind that they expect you to forgive them when they offend you.

3.     You Have To Know You Will Also Offend In A Way

We don’t take notice about this that we can also offend others at ay point in time that is why we find it difficult to forgive others when we are offended.

One important factor we need to know is that, forgiveness strengthens the relationship of those involved.

You unfortunately do something to someone and this can directly or indirectly lead to you offending the person. By forgiving others, you have seriously demonstrated good behavior. The next time you also offend the fellow, you can realize that you have about 98% probability of being forgiven by the fellow, and this means he or she can also be ready to forgive you. 

I want to make marriage 

couples to know that forgiving your fellow

 partner is the best 

remedy to strengthening their relationship

 and making it more vivid.

You have to know that forgiving others is what we should to do because you can also offend others in a way.

4.     Do Not Think The Offender Will Not Offend You Again

 People repeating the same mistake several times forgetting that we are all human beings and can make mistake in our life which we can later regret of what we have done.

But the part that bitterly hurts is when we keep repeating what we have done previously that is not good. But let’s understand that the one who offend us will by one day come our way to offend us by repeating the same thing or doing much more than he/she did before.

Finally, I assure you that lets forgive and put away unforgiveness because, Christ has demonstrated the power of forgiveness even at the point of death.
