I just want to ask your opinion if you easily forgive a person whom done wrong to you? Maybe some will say that we really have to forgive those people who sin against us but my main concern here is it easily to forgive your enemy?

Its easy to forgive just think about we are all committing mistakes and faults.It takes time to forget but time will heal, release the madness in your heart and grudge to forgive and everything will be fine.Every one of us committing sins and everyone deserves forgiveness... Happy myLotting!

and everyone deserves forgiveness... Sorry but I have to disagree with you...NOT everyone deserves to be forgiven..I can think of LOTS of situations where forgiveness isnt deserved by any means..

yes its easy to forgive but its not hard to forget as every little things will keep in my mind like a cd that keep on rewinding again and again. we cant get back the hands of time thats why we just tend to forgive them though somehow deep in our heart it will still linger in our thought and in our heart that put space against them.

yah your right is it easy to forgive but the hurts is still there and it is not easily to forget about it. People might say that we have to forgive other for thier mistakes they've done but the, yah maybe we forgive them but the hurt i cant say that you already forget and as long as you fell the hurt you cannot totaly say that you already forgive that person.........

It depends on the sin done- but at most, it's not easy to forgive someone who has hurt you..but time heals everything..i believe

I easily forgive bec I dont to keep hatred in my heart. If you have a BIBLE this a very nice verse in MATHEW6:14.

It is neither easy nor hard , the only thing you must ask your hard , are you willing to forget.

Hi aries12, I guess it would depend on the circumstances and whether or not the person who injured me asked for forgiveness. In such circumstances it would not be difficult for me to forgive. I have found it very difficult to forgive someone who showed no remorse or refused to admit that he/she had done anything wrong but I have forgiven such people though it took a long time. Blessings.

Of course,it's not easy to forgive someone who had sin against us. Could it be our enemy or our loved ones. When someone done wrong or hurt us,it depends upon the situation. Some mistakes can be easily forgiven,while some takes time for us to forget and forgive. But,we must learn to forgive people who had sinned against us,therefore God will also forgive us. Besides,living with hatred in our hearts will only lead us into having a heavy heart and unpeaceful life too. Living with peace is better than having lots of enemy

actually this is not easy to forgive any. this is the thing only which make the person bigger in the heart of the person who is looking for. but i think if you really forgive some one you will leave the thought to take any kind of revenge to that person. and this will really make you satisfied at some level.

That is a tough question. It really depends on what they have done. If it is something silly or small, then it is pretty easy for me to forgive. However, if it is something bigger, such as my husband cheating on me, then it would be harder. I am not saying that I could not forgive. It would just be a little harder to completely forgive. My father, who is no longer living, did some things that were really hard for me to forgive. However, in the last days of his life, I was finally able to forget the past.

I donot have enemies. I easily forgive them if at all they do anything against to me, or they did a sin. For example is my servant who is working with us since 13 years. She stolen my ear rings and left the services with us. Again after 6 months she asked for the job and i accepted only after she agreed that she stolen the rings and then she appolozised for the same. Now she is doing more good service than before. But i know both of us didnot forget that.

I can easily forgive people. It is usually over night. When I sleep I don't want to be mad at a person anymore. That is why I can easily forgive. Somethings that are too much are forgiven after a couple of days. Like in the prayer forgive our sins like we forgive others who sinned against us :)

For me, it forgiving someone was one of the most difficult thing. But after I knew the Lord Jesus, I am feeling it quite easy because He also forgave me of all my uncountable sins, the sins that i commited knowingly and unknowingly. And forgiving someone makes me feel like I am following the footstep of Jesus. As we say in the Lord's prayer, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass gainst us." So it we cant forgive we can't be forgiven. A Christian who can't forgive doesn't have Jesus in him because the main mission of Jesus was salvation by forgiveness. Have a nice time.

forgiving someone isnt something I worry about really. I mean if it was something petty, small that was done to me and we work it out then of course they are "forgiven" but for the major things that have been done for me, my forgiving them generally doesnt happen (however that does NOT mean I am constantly bringing it up or dwelling on it) ESPECIALLY if they show no remorse for their actions...There are certain ppl in my past that I'll NEVER forgive because they dont care about what they did, the long term damage they've caused and they just plain dont deserve it ya know.... As for forgetting..well one REALLY can't forget fully when they have been wronged. Again, particularly if it ws a major wrong doing becuse it affects every aspect of the "victims" being and life ya know....
