It is hard for most people to admit that they were wrong. So it makes it difficult to forgive when there has been no repentance.

Don’t let someone’s repentance put you in bondage, and at the same time you are not required to forgive anyone that has not repented.

But if they repent you should forgive them, and it does not mean you will need to become best friends.

Forgiveness even harder than repentance. But if you don’t for give others God will not forgive you. That is if they have repented.

The prodigal son story is about repentance, and forgiveness. Please learn to do both.
