It is impossible to be in a relationship without being hurt by another person. It is also impossible to be in a relationship without hurting someone else. I recently told a good friend I would call him back the next day. He was recently diagnosed with leukemia. But I forgot. We are all human. The hurt can be small or it can be large. It's size that often has to do with how the other person takes the hurtful behavior. Without forgiveness we can not maintain good relationships. We may not even be able to maintain the relationship. It may end. We will look at the importance and the process of the function of forgiveness. Lastly, we will look at the difference between forgiveness and allowing hurtful behavior to continue. Disclaimer: The guys are here to encourage you in your attempt to live more confidently and successfully in our world.
