So sometimes we just have to forgive no matter what.


Heb 9:22 In fact, according to the law of Moses, nearly everything was purified with blood. For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness.

Luk 24:47 It was also written that this message would be proclaimed in the authority of His name to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem: ‘There is forgiveness of sins for all who repent.’

It may depend on what is is. Forgiveness is a multifaceted word. I would suggest that forgiveness is not complete with out repentance. What you are not doing is not forgiving but something else? If it is forgiving, it is incomplete.

Forgiveness and repentance go hand in hand. When we see one, we should think of the other.

So if some one drives by or flies by and throws a blicket that hits me in the face i can not forgive them because i have no way of knowing if they knew it hit me and no way of knowing if they repented if they did know.

Well, i think i had better just wipe it off and forgive.
