asking forgiveness

[simpleone]

Hi there,

Have a question...when you do wrong or think you've done wrong or feel bothered in the conscience about something - which can seem very small... where do you draw the line in asking for forgiveness?

- do you ask God to forgive you and move on?
- do you also ask the person involved (if any) to forgive you? (it may have been so small that they dont even realise it or know about it too)

thanks

That is a difficult one..

it really does depend I guess on what you think God is telling you to do.
I have asked forgiveness from people and they didnt even register what I had done but before God I had felt I needed to ask their forgiveness.
I wish I could help you more but I really cant because I have the same dilemma at times of not knowing what is needed.

I have one time asked some other people to pray that I would know if there was anything more I needed to do to make a situation right. I didnt say what it was about just asked for prayer that I would know if there was something more I needed to do.

I had asked forgiveness but one of the people held it against me unfortunately so I tried to do things to bless them until it came to a point where it seemed that God was saying I had done all I could and it was ok to leave that person's heart in His hands and move on.

each situation is different

God bless you
