12 Bible Verses When You Are Having Trouble Forgiving

forgive: to stop feeling angry or resentful towards someone for an offense, flaw, or mistake.

Forgiving is one of those things people don't do very often, but we should. We fail our heavenly Father daily, but He forgives us.

You can't expect forgiveness and you don't give it.

4. Matthew 6:15

"But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins."

"Then Peter came to him and asked, "Lord how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?"

EVERY TIME

6. 1 John 1:9

"But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness."

7. Matthew 26: 28

"for this is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice to forgive the sins of many."

8. Psalms 130:4

"But you offer forgiveness, that we might learn to fear you."

9. Luke 17:4

"Even if that person wrongs you seven times a day and each time turns again and asks forgiveness, you must forgive."

10. Luke 1:77 

"You will tell his people how to find salvation through forgiveness of their sins."

11. Mark 11:25

"But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too."

12. Luke 11: 4

"and forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. And don't let us yield to temptation."

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
