I have discovered that some people when you offend them; even after begging and seeking for their forgiveness will still not burge.
Please how do we make them forgive and forget?
Happy Sunday!

Forgiveness is a personal decision, you can't make someone forgive you, of course you can help them see reasons to forgive. However, you cannot make them forgive you but you have no problem/sin after seeking for their forgiveness because you only offended them but committed sin against God and only God can forgive you of the sin. If the person likes he/she forgive you or not, God's forgiveness is paramount.

If you beg for forgiveness and weren't forgiven just walk out, at least you tried your best

Make amends and afterwards smile a little, it is better than turning yourself into a beggar

If God could intentionally harden Pharoah’s heart when he refused to let his people go I believe God can equally inspire one to forgive us but it may time. In the meantime keep living keep enjoying life What’s done is done things won’t ever be the same but at least you know deep down you made an apology sincerely

Leave the rest for God

Humans are not God, if you do your best begging for forgiveness and he/she doesn't forgive I suggest you find your way, god sees our hearts.

The Lords prayer says forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us!
Anybody way no forgive, na himself he dey do, that is why obasanjo forgive Atiku to free his mind

If we die without forgiveness na hell fire straight

Omobaba whenever your mind tells you to do the right thing just do it if you really believe it's right

You can plead to who you offend from the depth of your heart to forgive you and if they don't forgive you, find your way but also pray to God genuinely to forgive you. the case is settled

You can't force anyone to forgive you.

See ehn, some things are easier said than done..

Me, I would just tell you it all depends on how so hurt the person u offended felt or the gravity of yo offence, because of a truth, you can't come to me fo forgiveness and tell me u were the one who shot my mother to death, do you think I'd forgive u that easily??
Eventho' my mum has been dead fo almost 3 years now..

See, don't let me lie to you, I can't forgive you the first instance u come pleading oo, but I sure would still forgive u sha, the fact that u acknowledged that u did wrong and yo conscience didn't let you be, would make me forgive u later on..
Cheers!..

You can't. Sometimes in life it is a W and sometimes it is a L. You wronged that person and no amount of guilt YOU FEEL can change the fact you wronged said person and no they don't you owe any forgiveness. Hold your L and move on.

Make restitution for what you did.
If you stole his goat,
Return or replace same, in a better condition though!
If you bleeped his wife,
confess before the man and his wife,
If you come out alive, pray for forgiveness.

If you have offended someone and you go to that person to plead for forgiveness

Do that with a sincere heart, so that your conscience will be free and you will have peace of mind

The way and manner the person handles it will be healed with time

So far I have begged them to forgive. If they refuse then so be it, continue my life without them. This world is very big, it can contain all of us
