In our Wisdom Booklet we've been studying forgiveness. "The offended needs to initiate restoration". Is a summary of the major concept. Now I wonder how many of the readers can tell me off the top of their head what WB number that is! Anyway, we have this quote on the wall. "The wise man will make haste to forgive, because he knows the true value of time, and will not suffer it to pass away in unnecessary pain." - Samuel Johnson. It is a quote that was garnered either from IBLP or Character First! The one step that I find most important in forgiveness is the step after forgiveness. So when I cause someone to need to forgive me (at home with my wife or a daughter or a son for example) I need to help them to forgive me by becoming humble, etc, as in the Basic Seminar (Follow Up Course etc) but they may lack a real sense of joy about our relationship if they do not ask God to bless me as well. One cannot force one to bless you. But you can ask God to bless them with a desire to bless you, and then suggest it to them. That is what I do AT HOME. It may not work as well where there is a less intimate relationship. Without forgiveness, there is no remission of sins. "Jas 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins." www.E-Sword.net KJV. Those look like New Zealand sheep!

Thank you for sharing! I think it's interesting that the word "forbearing" literally means to "put up with." It can be a challenge to "put up with" certain people sometimes, but when I think about all that God "puts up with" in my, my problems pale in comparison. That is a wonderful testimony, Sharon.
