do you hold grudges or do you forgive and forget?

Answer 1

I try to forgive and forget but often find it difficult when the other person has no desire to be forgiven because they don't believe they did anything wrong. I try to chaulk it up to ignorance most of the time.

Answer 2

I hold grudges. I have a very hard time letting go. If I ever do forgive, I never forget. I know that this will be a problem when I am an adult. But I can't seem to help it. I am very glad that God does not hold grudges. I would be in so much trouble.

Answer 3

everyone holds grudges but when you forgive someone that is the time to let the grudge go. I forgive but you can never really forget, but Jesus forgets our sin as far as the east is from the west.

Answer 4

I was once told that what destroys you is not the hurt but the grudge. Bearing a grudge can make you so bitter that it affects your outlook on life to your detriment. The best bet is to forgive but to avoid that person in future. Some things, however, are unforgiveable but need to be forgotten.

Answer 5

I never hold grudges - it wastes too much energy. Always forgive but never forget.

Answer 6

No grudges and I forgive but you can never forget....

Answer 7

Forgive and forget. Sometimes that forgiveness is a long time coming and has to be worked on...it's a journey.

Answer 8

Sometimes I hold grudges and sometimes I dont. I learn to frogive the person but not forget what they had done.

Answer 9

It all depends. If someone were to do something bad against me and then apologise all would be fine. If they don't then i tend to hold a grudge.
I think it really depends on the severity.

Answer 10

as a christian, i do try and forgive and forget as much as i can. although its so much easier said than done! i do have to admit that i do hold a grudge, and as much as i try and get over it, i just cant.

i guess it just goes to show none of us are perfect
