Don't worry

I had a misunderstanding before with my old friend and until now it is not still resolved. I strongly believe it was his fault but I did not fight back. I just consoled myself thinking that people are imperfect; we make mistakes and decisions. You might have been hurt by others in the past, but the most important part is how you choose to deal with that hurt. Failing to let go of the past and holding on to grudges and anger can only cause harm in your life. Trials are proof of how strong we are as a person and there is no need to worry, cause God is always with us. Who agrees with me?

Often conflicts will arise when people spend time with one another. Believers are together for a while, there will be wrongdoings and mutual offences. As believers in Christ, the Lord wants us to forgive and pardon one another. Since the Lord knows that it is easy for us to offend others and difficult for us to forgive others. Although we may have forgiven someone, we still remember his wrong-doing, and even tell others about the offense. If we do not forgive others today, the Lord will not forgive us in the coming kingdom until we forgive them from our heart.

Yes, I agree we have to forget any grudges. But I can say that I still can't really forget my old wound. I say I have forgiven them, but it's still there. So even if it's easy to say but it's hard to do. It is hard if you have badly hurt by another person. But I will always try to forgive and not to hold any grudge. I know that holding grudges are same as drinking poison but hoping another person to die, while in reality it's you who poisoned yourself by drinking it. Grudges are always bad for your health.

Hi Dev, I found it is sooo hard to fight myself when I am in anger but I ask the help of God so I can conquer the anger and other ego feelings that way, it calms me down and stay cool

I think you can dont worry the misunderstanding, if the friends is not your best friend, the misunderstanding is slowly disappear as time goes on. if the friends is your best friend, I think you'd better talk with him about misuanderstanding existed among you, becase we all very care each other, the misuanderstanding will become much more deeper than past. for my best friend, the talk is very necessary.

I agree with you. Let unhappy things go. Forget it. Gradually, persons can not really hurt you, although it is very hard to do so.

Misunderstanding are easily made and if we are adult enough we accept they happen and as you say humans are by far from perfect, we all make mistakes, the test comes when we need to forgive someone, that is what I find difficult, for me I find time is truly a great healer, if we can forgive we can move on, bearing grudges causes nothing but grief for both concerned. Some people find forgiving difficult, forgetting even harder and it tends to change us, not always for the good. We become stronger when we forgive those who have hurt us in the past, we can move on and leave the past behind us once we have made that step to forgive. It took me a long time to forgive those that abused and bullied me throughout my life. Although I am a strong believer of karma and those that have hurt me will get their punishment.

I do agree with not holding onto grudges. Life is too short and such negativity prolonged is not good for us. How important is the misunderstanding? You even call it a misunderstanding. Hopefully you reconnect and move on.

Yeah it's not easy to let go of friends but we just have to accept that they won't always be perfect and things can go bad

ME! Agree with you! We may seem to get disappointed or even lose hope sometimes, but after contemplating about the issues that has happened, we find God shedding the light to where we should pass through--and that is HOPE, that everything is going to be alright.

I agree. It is going to hurt the person who has unforgiveness in his/her heart. No sin will enter heaven. We must forgive others or we will not be forgiven. I want to go to heaven! I'm not going to harbor any grudges on anybody.

I strongly agree ! Indeed you are a man of values ! A true man don't hold on to any grudges , he knows how to address it without being scandalous or hurting others . Harboring anger or pain will not bring any goodness to us instead but only pull us down. Why allow this when we can have options , that is to bring happiness in ourselves .

Yes, I agree with you. There is no one without mistake. I also believe that all people can apologize a mistake of others. If I have a mistake to others and I cannot to solve I hope the time will bring her to forgive me. I also will forgive a mistake of others, because I have forget it.
