Asher_Aurelius View Profile History	to forgive Posted : 9 Jun, 2011 02:15 AM When I was a new Christian, I opened my home to a guy who was on the ashbergius (forgive the spelling ;) which on the autism scale. Because of this he got freaked out by things that weren't ultra clean so for the first week that he was there I spent my free time doing a spring clean. I a month later despite my best efforts to welcome him into my home I found out that he was back biting behind my back (we have since found out that he has problems and likes to have an enemy). This really made me mad, and I had him up about it. In short I forgave him because God told me to. But in my heart I really didn't want to have anything to do with him. Through this God showed me that I should forgive him not because he deserved it, but exactly because he didn't. Perhaps the reason why it can be hard to forgive people is because they don't deserve it, even when they repent. I think this may be for some about learning to give grace. Also I feel forgiving someone does not mean that we must allow them to abuse us. Post Reply
