In order to be forgiven one must have done something wrong.
Wrong actions hurt, brings much pain, confusion, and builds a bridge of
distrust that creates a barrier between the two. I am sure you can relate, at
some point in life you’ve been hurt by someone before, facing the opportunity
to forgive them or not? On the contrary I am sure you've needed forgiveness as well. Either way both positions are uncomfortable and
require a great deal of humility, emotional strain, and a hesitancy to restore.

In the spiritual sense have you ever considered how God
feels when you seek Him for forgiveness? When you reached that place where you
are confident that God is going to forgive you nonetheless so you go about life
disregarding how your actions will make him feel. Carefree that your actions
may offend, disrespect, or hurt- your quest to live for the moment exceeds its
affect on God who will, because he can, somehow guarantee you complete forgiveness? When needing forgiveness a hurt has gone forth, and an entitled attitude of forgiveness
punctures the wound. Have you ever considered the pain and anguish your actions causes Christ, how
your disrespect revives his crucifixion,--- given all He has done
for you, and what He is requesting of you is for your best interest, is the
action really worth His broken heart?! You may be forgiven, but be careful not
to take the forgiveness for granted!
It’s backed in the word!
