Comments on: How Do You Forgive the Unpardonable? {Recharge Wednesday LINKUP} https://temporaldomainfwg.soaringwithhim.com/2023/05/forgive-the-unpardonable/ Patricia Holbrook Tue, 23 May 2023 21:09:24 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.1 By: Donna Reidland https://temporaldomainfwg.soaringwithhim.com/2023/05/forgive-the-unpardonable/#comment-39593 Tue, 23 May 2023 21:09:24 +0000 https://soaringwithhim.com/?p=7935#comment-39593 Debbie, there is so much misunderstanding about this subject. But you have explained it clearly and well. We tend to think it’s somehow hypocritical to forgive when we don’t feel like it. But feelings should not be the determiner rather, as you said, doing what is best for the other person.

Bethany, I like how you summed it up, “We can’t forgive what we haven’t acknowledged as wrong.” Thank you!

It’s such a sensitive topic and you’ve explained this so clearly and helpfully. We can’t forgive what we haven’t acknowledged as wrong. Praise God He tells the truth about who we are and our need for a Savior – and offers us true forgiveness. May we do the same.

Barbara, there is much confusion on what forgiveness is. And our messy emotions don’t help! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts.

Thank you!

It’s so important to remember that love is doing what’s best for the other person, not feeling warm and close. And that we don’t forgive because others deserve it, but because God forgave us.
