Should we ask someone to apologize?

I have the same issue in a sense. If someone close to me hurts me deeply it takes me some time to really come to forgiveness, it has taken years for me.

What I have found is to not concentrate on the person you are forgiving, but concentrate on how Christ forgives you after you keep sinning. Because Christ is the one who demands we forgive.

If you let God change your heart and ask Him to give you a heart of forgiveness, He will. It make take a while, but God does not ask us to do something He will not help us do.

I hope this helps, God bless you.

This is awesome advice and great to remember

thanks to sunshine for jesus for directing me to this post that is indeed profound. Posts like this need to be collated onto a "Classic Posts" thread.
