Forgiveness

[ohenry]

I know it is clear that we are to forgive those that have wronged us.
Even if they do not ask for the forgiveness - just because we should.

Okay - after that what?
What are your thoughts of how to treat the person afterwards?

I think we should try to relate as if nothing happened.
But we are human.
Should we tell them we have forgiven them and are praying for them?
That seems questionable.

What do you all think?

Long time ago, when FORGIVENESS was much discussed in my circles, I found an article on the internet, and it was thought provoking. I must say that forgiveness is a MUST and not an option. We must forgive unconditionally, whether we feel like wanting to forgive or not. If we do not forgive, the one that has done us wrong may have a spiritual grip on us, and that may give the enemy a foothold in our lives. So we must forgive. This is not a forum for discussions, so I won't say more though.

Here is the web page talking about forgiveness, if you are interested in reading it:
