Forgiveness:The possible Impossibility- It has to be sometihng to forgiveness- Jesus died so we can have forgiveness- Unforgiveness must be the root of DESTROYED relationships- It’s ugly business!!

We can sometimes pride ourselves in unforgiveness- acknowledging why we don’t like this person for this or that reason- spreading ungorgiveness like wildfire.

We must contirbute to peace and reconciling relationships

Remember, God’s grace is sufficient!!! Let HIM do the impossible-I don’t understand it either - but it is GOOD!!!!

If I forgive you, I’d have to ....let go of pain that I felt. Some people, myself included have a hard time letting go of the pain because unconsciously they have created an identity of the pain they feel...and the pain continues to be real because we hang on tight to it and live it daily and keep it growing, but if we let it go...admit it happened and let it go...the pain will die. Forgiveness allows joy to replace the pain...but we just have to allow it...so If I forgive you, I’d have to ALLOW myself permission just let it go and feel joy where there was hurt/pain/grief. Whether believer or unbeliever, forgiveness is good for you.  And imperative if you are a Christian other wise you are not forgiven by the Father when you have ought against anyone when you go to Him in prayer.

@ JourneywithCHRISTie:

Thank you for the insight you share concerning forgiveness.  I am a local pastor in counseling with a couple in crises.  They report that they truly love each other, but they struggle to trust again.  If I can help in this crisis, it will be significant.  When hurt and pain sever the ties between two people in love, reconciliation must begin with prayer for strength to forgive.  We must remember that Philippians 4:6 reminds us of the importance of prayer in everything. Please feel free to share any inspiration you receive concerning this crisis.

@ tgraham:

Dear friend in Jesus,
Your ministry to this couple can result in others realizing the importance of following God’s Word. Consider using the article "You Can Change - One Step at a Time" which will list specific promises from God’s Word that might be useful in the situation you described. The article can be located on the internet at:  http://www.wordtruth.net/PDF/You%20Can%20Change.pdf

In marital challenges, it is important to encourage each spouse to concentrate on personal growth in Christ and not focus on supposed changes that "should be" apparent in the other spouse. As the Bible states in various passages: we are ultimately responsible only for our own walk in Christ, not any other person’s spiritual progress. We are to be faithful personally to the Lord, and trust Him to bring results according to His timetable, not our own.

Also, Matthew 7:1-5 is a key passage to reference when a couple is struggling in their marriage. Each spouse is to focus on their own areas of life that need to change to greater Christ-likeness and pray that the Lord will empower one’s spouse to do likewise.

When each partner in a marriage focuses on Christ and personal obedience to God’s Word, they will eventually meet at the foot of the cross . . . together.

In the process of personal growth, another teaching article that might be helpful is "Are You a Loving Person" which is found at
http://wordtruth.org/PDF/Are%20you%20a%20Loving%20Person.pdf
(no space in that long URL)

May God grant His wisdom and grace as you endeavor to bring honor to Him in helping this couple to grow in Christ as they learn to love and trust one another in a greater dimension than they could ever think was possible (Eph. 3:20-21).

@ tgraham:

@tgraham There definitely needs to be prayer First and in
between. The couple must want to stay together (to be in counseling) but they don’t know how to repair the trust that was broken. I think it damages a relationship when we think forgiveness is for the forgiven. It is easy for one to say this being on the outside, but the bible teaches us that we must render “forgiveness” every time.  I knew a woman who was sexually abuse and she had a hard time forgiven her mom for leaving her in the situation. She carried that bitterness and resentment for years until one day she said that she was praying asking God to forgive her for her shortcomings and sin. She remembered the parable about the slave who was forgiven a debt but
refuse to forgive a fellow servant for his debt and his debt was reinstated with torture. She realized that forgiveness ends up being between her and God and she needed and wanted God to forgive her so she couldn’t refuse to forgive her mother all those years. Now the trust was definitely broken in both situations, but I know God to be a restorer and can mend the impossible if we submit it unto Him. We all make bad decisions. But as believers we are commanded to forgive and restore each other in love. Now the question is…does the couple
love each other enough to endure.

@ J_Ruth:

Thank you for the response to my comments. The couple has made significant progress since my last post.  The wife is anxious to reconcile with her husband. She is excited to begin a new journey with him. She wants to put it all behind them. The husband continues to struggle with some of the past hurt, their communication improves daily. They have begun to pray and study Scripture together.  I encourage them to have faith in God to make the changes that will take them higher. Jesus says, "And, if I be lifted up from the earth, I’ll draw all men unto me."

@ tgraham:

I encourage you to encourage them to consistently study and pray together, even when they do not feel like it. I have found one of the keys to forgiving others is to be able to truly and fully forgive one’s self. I am glad to hear that progress is being made by them.
