Can I be forgiven, please?

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.(1 John 1:9)


It takes a strong person to say sorry, and an ever stronger person to forgive. - Unknown
I find it is hard to say I am sorry, especially when I think it is the right one.
But I often think it over and over again and must admit that actually I was wrong. But I still have "the stone heart" not to say sorry..(in very honest speaking)
In fact, I push myself to admit it, to speak gently that I am sorry for what I have done. Sometimes I feel it hurt my pride, but indeed was amazed that people respects my apology ..

Hmm, It takes me to the new paradigm: If human can take positive side and willing to forgive, God must be much better than that. As long as I confess my sin, God will cleanse my sins away..

On the other side, When it take me to forgive, my mouth said : Ok, I forgive you, but feel unrelieved inside. I still remember what was he/she done to me and the impacts on me. I keep telling myself as my call is to forgive only, not to judge.
You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. (Romans 2:1)
It is hard but not impossible. Pray and asks for sincere heart to forgive. It will help a lot.

Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future. ~Paul Boese
Its true. After you forgive someone, you can not erase the past. but indeed, it will fix the relationship in the future. Never get tired to forgive..

Summary:
It often comes not easy to say sorry and forgive. But you can do it, pull "you side" away and change it with "God side". Then you will be able to forgive.
When you make a sin, admit your sin honestly to God. Ask forgiveness and promise that you would not do the same way again. God will forgive you and change your life.
