All of us will face the times when we have to answer the question: To Forgive: Yes or No? Usually when we have to answer this question it concerns some kind of serious matter. I do not like people who push other people into forgiveness - this usually leaves the 'forgiver' person in confusion and even condemnation. If we are to forgive someone who has hurt us, we need to do it from our heart and with our will. There should be no pushing or manipulating in this matter.
