Should you tell someone they are forgiven? Yes. You also don’t have to associate with the person, although in my opinion they still need prayers. And you no longer have to carry the baggage of anger, hurt or disgust around. It will still make you feel better whether they know it or not. What if the other person doesn’t ask for forgiveness? You can still give it to them. However, if someone is willing to feel guilt, humble themselves enough to approach the wronged party and ASK for forgiveness, why would you not take that guilt from them and toss it in the trash? No one likes to feel guilty, it’s why we go to great lengths to justify actions that we feel guilt about. In the Lord’s Prayer He said “Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.” To me, this would indicate that forgiveness can be interchanged with forms of currency.įor example, when someone asks for forgiveness and you refuse to grant it, this would be paramount to blackmailing someone to extort what you want from them, in this case, guilt. I have been thinking a lot about forgiveness.
