    Forgiveness is not approval, it is the ability to let go of your feelings so you can move on with your life.

    when someone said they are sorry, asking for forgiveness that dose not mean you should say ok and move on. Moving on many times is not easy even after they say they are sorry

    The Lord’s Prayer asks the Father to “forgive us our trespasses AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US”. Requiring an apology before we deign to forgive is like emotional blackmail. Forgiveness is letting go of our own hate and ego and offering a person love and forgiveness, whether or not it is returned by them, regardless of whether they feel sorry. Reference what Jesus said on the cross: Father forgive them for they know not what they do.

      But what Jesus said on the cross is different. They sinned due to ignorance. When someone knows they did something wrong, that’s all together different!
