  1. Become gentle; demonstrate tenderheartedness.
  2. Understand what the other person has gone through, listening carefully not only to what is said, but also to how it is said. What has caused the anger?
  3. Acknowledge that the person is hurting, and admit when you have been offensive.
  4. Touch the other person gently.
  5. Ask for forgiveness.

Are you still hesitating to knock down old walls of anger and put in a doorway of tenderness to your home a door that opens to energizing words, gentle touching, and courageous forgiving?

EPISODE 23
Book Report on Real Marriage – What forgiveness is not

THIS EPISODE BROUGHT TO YOU BY
The Smalley Center, find out why over 96% of our former clients would recommend our 1, 2, or 3 day marriage intensive to a friend or family member in need of help. Rediscover happiness at SmalleyCenter.com.

KEY VERSE

Colossians 3:13 “Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.”

NOTES

When we are sinned against, we need to forgive quickly. Jesus’ words on this are haunting: “Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.”a We cannot simply ask God to forgive our sins; we must also extend that same forgiveness to others. (Driscoll, Mark (2012-01-03). Real Marriage: The Truth About Sex, Friendship, and Life Together (p. 91). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.)

It is important to note, however, what forgiveness is not:

Forgiveness is not denying, approving, or diminishing sin that is committed against us.
Forgiveness is not naivety.
Forgiveness is not enabling sin.
Forgiveness is not waiting for someone to acknowledge sin, apologize, and repent.
Forgiveness is not forgetting about sin committed against us.
Forgiveness is not dying emotionally and no longer feeling the pain of the transgression.
Forgiveness is not a one-time event.
Forgiveness is not reconciliation.
Forgiveness is not neglecting justice.

Driscoll, Mark (2012-01-03). Real Marriage: The Truth About Sex, Friendship, and Life Together (pp. 92-93). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.

Forgiveness is loving despite sin. (Driscoll, Mark (2012-01-03). Real Marriage: The Truth About Sex, Friendship, and Life Together (p. 94). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.)
