Learning How to Forgive a Jerk

Leave a Comment  

One of the most important things we teach singles in our parent education classes is learning how to forgive their mates or previous dating partners. Yea, that includes learning how to forgive a jerk, abuser or user. Why? Learning how to forgive speeds the healing process, and prepares for future, healthy boyfriend/girlfriend dating relationships. Conversely, a lack of forgiveness brings bitterness and additional suffering.

Learning How to Forgive Podcast

Don Henley of Eagles fame sings about the need for forgiving and forgiveness in his song by the same name. Yet, some Christian singles simply do not want to forgive others for past hurts. Instead of making peace with the past, they prefer to hold grudges. But as our Christian podcast of the week speaker states: “Holding a grudge is like drinking poison and hoping the other person who hurt us gets sick.”

What about those folks who want to forgive, but are confused as to what that means or how to actually forgive a past hurt? I do believe the following Church podcast on learning how to forgive will minster to you, and answer all questions in this difficult area.

In closing, I would really hate to leave this topic without speaking to those who are desperate for forgiveness and are living with intense guilt. If you don’t know God offers you total forgiveness and brand new start in life, please read how you can have forgiveness and peace with Him right now.

Have a forgive me poem or something to share about learning how to forgive?

Great Christian Boyfriend-Girlfriend Signs

4 Comments  

Looking to find a Christian boyfriend or girlfriend.? Would you even be able to spot that good catch of a Christian boyfriend or girlfriend when they come into your sights? Recently, several singles sat down and came up with the following top seven signs of a worthwhile Christian boyfriend or girlfriend:

Top 7 Great Christian Boyfriend/Girlfriend Signs

1. Jesus is the most important person in their lives. Remember, if a Christian girlfriend or boyfriend loves the Lord above all, she or he will also be able to love you with more passion and purity.
2. They have a network of loving relationships. Jesus said we can identify people by the fruit of their lives. If your prospective Christian boyfriend or girlfriend has had dysfunctional or unloving relationships with most of the closest people around him (ie: parents, friend, ex-girlfriends, etc), what makes you think that your dating relationship will fare any better? Conversely, if the have great relationships already formed, you pretty much know you are dealing with the caring person capable of commitment and intimacy.
3. They speak the truth in love. Many of us have had the unfortunate experience of dealing with boyfriends or girlfriends who are liars and cheaters. As we wrote elsewhere, the ideal soul mate will be be able to lovingly express the truth to you, even when it hurts.
4. They don’t hold grudges. 1Corinthians 13:5 states love keeps no record of wrong. Fact is, we’re all gonna be needing forgiveness now and again in all our relationships. If your Christian boyfriend or girlfriend finds it hard to show forgiveness, and keep harping on wrongs done, chances are this is not the dating match for you.
5. They love are faith-filled optimists and love having fun. Did you ever notice how contagious light-hearted people are? Life is hard at times, but hanging around a Christian boyfriend or girlfriend who empathizes the positive goes a long way.

Have a tip on what makes a great Christian boyfriend or girlfriend?
