There is an amazing connection between forgiveness and healing in the Bible. Forgiveness has amazing benefits. Forgiveness can heal broken relationships, broken hearts and even bring health to one’s body. Only recently have secular psychologists and doctors begun speaking of the healing power of forgiveness in one’s life. That is exactly why it is important to learn how to forgive someone who hurt you emotionally.
The Forgiveness and Dating Relationships Problem
Many Christian singles have problems with their health and the relationships in their lives because they have a major issue with forgiveness. For example, some singles have had such sour dating relationships with cheaters and pathological liars that they now find it hard to grant forgiveness. Others walk around gloomy and depressed because they they can’t forgive themselves for past sex sins that God has long forgiven.
Are you a single Christian today in need of forgiveness for how you treated someone in the past? Remember Jesus suffered for all your wrongdoing. If He says he has forgiven you (1 John 1:9), in faith you need to forgive yourself. Is there someone seeking your forgiveness, but you just can’t open up to that person? Jesus says forgive, and you shall be forgiven. (Luke 6:37).
I really hope you don’t think I’m preaching to you. Why? Because lately a whole bunch of people have been ticking off to the point where I have had a difficult time forgiving them. So I’ll make a deal with you. You pray for me and I’ll pray for you, okay?
Bible Verse of the Day
“Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” Colossians 3:13

About three months ago my ex broke up with me because he said his feelings didn’t develop for me romantically. I got very upset because this was the second time we had broken up and gotten back together in about a two month time period. I wasn’t even sure I wanted to get back together with him, but he seemed sincere. So, when he broke up with me again, I felt pretty deceived. I told him that I thought he brought a lot of baggage into the relationship from his relationship before me and that he probably wasn’t over his ex. He got really mad about that and said some very hurtful things. We decided not to talk to eachother for awhile. It’s been a few months and I really just want my friend back. The relationship was wrong, but we were friends for years before we got romantically involved. Anyhow, I emailed him recently to tell him that I didn’t like the bad blood between us and that I hope we can be friends one day. I really want to forgive him, because I think it is healthy for me, but I’m not ready to be friends just yet. Should I have sent that email?
