#Forgiveness

How do I forgive someone who hurt me and never apologised?

Forgiveness does not wait for an apology. It frees your heart from bitterness and leaves justice with God.

Back to the FAQ
Romans 12 reminds us not to repay evil for evil and to leave room for God's justice. You can forgive in prayer, even when the other person never acknowledges what they did. Jesus invites us to bless and pray for those who mistreat us (Luke 6:27-28). Hebrews 12:15 warns that a root of bitterness defiles many — forgiveness protects your own heart. Healthy boundaries are still wise. Forgiving someone does not require you to remain in harm's way.
