I had to do that Sunday with someone I’d hurt. He was amazing. I didn’t deserve it. Taught me a lot about mercy.

I think the thing we have to remember though is that we’re called to be obedient. If we try to make amends and the other person doesn’t want to then we have done what we can do and it’s in God’s hands. I think sometimes people don’t forgive us not because we are really a jerk but because the pride in their life won’t allow them to. I think it runs on a deeper level as a heart issue and not always a personal issue with you.

But does it still hurt if someone rejects our apology? Yeah. Rejection is real and raw and it just flat out sucks.

Just went through that about 6 months ago…only my situation I was not forgiven. It is tough enough to lay your heart our there and expose your humility, then have it ripped to shreds. It took me some time to recover from that, but I realized that I too was a better man for at least trying to make it happen.

Sort of related…
I forgave my ex-husband for the years of abuse he put me through (emotional & verbal, not physical). I did it in my heart. It was between me and God. My X will never know because he just won’t because I will never seek him out. I’m not sure if he’d ever ask for it. But I did it anyway and Jesus set me free. I no longer feel hatred, or anything really, towards that man now. And occassionally I even pray for him.

Forgiveness = Freedom

I have done this many times in the past. It is hard and humbling, but it is well worth the effort because it restores a relationship and is pleasing to our God. Thanks to the Holy Spirit for convicting me when there is a relationship in my life that is on the rocks.
