Dealing with being unforgiven by someone I hurt.

[EverGrowing]

I have been having a hard time leaving my past in the past. It keeps popping up in my prayer life and quiet time as distraction. I had asked the person who I hurt, to find it in their heart to forgive me and the response was "That will not happen".

If anyone has been in my shoes, I would love to hear from you. If you haven't I could still really use your prayers. I know God will light my way out of this, but I am still having a rough time.

God Bless You!

That's too bad that the other person is holding that grudge or anger or hatred in his/her heart. BUT you've done all you can do except now you take it to the LORD and leave it there. You are not responsible for their misbehaving or anything they do, we cannot control others. It might not be about you any more at all... but perhaps God is dealing with them.

It's good that you've tried to make amends. Make notes about how to avoid the same situation in the future, with anyone, and do move on.

God has forgiven you.... (I mean, ALL of your (and my) sin was in the future when Christ made the payment for them on the cross.) God doesn't expect us to be perfect, He just wants us to do our best. I think because of this, your best has improved now.

Is there anything more you could do for this person?
