This week I talked to a class about the importance of forgiveness when grieving. I said that you need to forgive others so that you don't become bitter. You need to forgive yourself and be realistic about your responsibility.
Also this week several friendship issues came up that definitely needed forgiveness on both sides, but both sides are very strong willed. Add to this exam pressure and you've got a recipe for pain and heartache.
I challenge you to think about your own relationships. Is there somone you need to not just say sorry to, but humbly ask for forgiveness? Is there a relationship where its not going how you want it to?
If you keep holding onto it and bottling it up it will only hurt you.
Forgiveness is one of the hardest things for humans, but it also the secret to long-lasting enduring fulfilling relationships.
The youtube clip is important for understanding what forgiveness is not. Mark Driscoll is a fave preacher of mine... He knows what he's talking about
Cheers
