It's Not Okay

I have always thought that forgiving people is something I should do no matter what because if Jesus can forgive me then there's no reason why I can't forgive others. However, it is not okay to say 'it's okay' if someone hurts you're feelings. You may think that you're saying 'I forgive you' but you're really not. What you are saying is that someone didn't hurt your feelings when that isn't true, and it is not okay for people to hurt your feelings. You need to say other things to get across to people that you forgive them, you could say 'thank you for apologizing' or 'I forgive you'. The mother of my friend, who we'll name Matt, taught me this very important lesson. It's something I defiantly needed to learn that, it's like God spoke through Matt's mom. I really encourage you guys to think about that cause that's something I think a lot of people do without realizing it. If you are one of those people who do this, don't worry I'm right there with you and I'm praying for God to help us not to do that anymore.
