Well sis...I'm not sure if I'm touching on your point...
But I still think forgiveness that is between you and God.

At that point I think its a matter of us asking God
to give us the stregnth to forgive and forget.
After we go to that person, and explain our problem.
If they continue...Now its a matter of us
asking God to stregnthen us to forgive.
And now its up to them to come to us and apologize...
Because we explained to them already how they hurt us.

Am I following you correctly??

Yeah, I think so... lol.   :-\ ?/? :D :D  I also agree that forgiveness is between you and God.

I guess I can simplify what I was saying to make it clear:

It is my opinion that if a person offends you again after you've already told them their behavior is offensive to them, that doesn't give you free license to just walk away from them.  You have to be sure, for your OWN soul's salvation, that you've forgiven them.  Once you've forgiven them, I don't think there's anything wrong with dismissing them from your life and moving on.  Some people won't ever change their ways, some people won't even see anything wrong with their ways.  Proverbs tells us there is a way that seemeth right to a man, but the end thereof is the way of death.  No point in giving folks like that a hundred chances to hurt your feelings or piss you off...  :-\

What I'm saying is that you have to make sure you forgive them before you dismiss them.

Sometimes, it's easier to find forgiveness after giving the person an opportunity to explain themselves, or apologize or state their case or whatever.  Sometimes, that isn't prudent and you just have to find a way to forgive them without ever confronting them.

You got me?
When you're in love you don't want to fall asleep bc reality is finally better than your dreams.

the bible tells us if you have an difference with your brother take it to your brother. if that brother don't hear you take a witness. if they don't hear that take it to the church. i agree you must forgive people. i believe that you must forgive people even if they never say i'm sorry and ask for forgiveness. so before you even approach them you should forgive them. thats me.

i also believe that some people are easier to love from a distance. again thats me.
In Him,

Pastor Rob

I totally agree, Pastor Rob.

And to be honest, some folks are just really difficult to love, period.  For some, it takes a miracle from on high... lol.
