Forgiveness or the asking of it is to clear ones own mind and make things right with whatever god they pray to. But what you must think is do these people who ask forgiveness care a sh*t about the feelings of the people who have been hurt by there own wrong doings....I think not Only the offender, his or her God, and very possibly, the people he victimized could know what is in a persons heart. I have not lost any family to violent crime. I have lost some I consider family though. I have already forgiven the ones who took them. As difficult as it might be to do it? I would go. In honor of my friends, I've lost. |

I can see that, that sheds a little more light on it for me. I honestly cant give a good opinion, it would be difficult for me to say "I feel your pain" to my friend. I have never experienced anything to that level before. I think I will share with him what you said though.... I'd be honored if you did. It's very hard to see it in a "big picture" sort of scenario, I know. But the potential to reach more than just that one man, to give your friend some closure, and to really and truly be part of a change (however much of a longshot that is) might be worth the stress. I wish your friend fortitude and strength in whatever decision he deems right for him.  I just talked to him and shared with him what both you and Jist mentioned. It seemed to hit him when I said about possibly helping others. He really liked hearing that, actually caused me to tear a bit. The emotions are hitting him hard...He is still unsure, but I think it settled his outrage some Thank you guys...

I'd ask the chaplain if the guy knows the Lord or not. If not, I'd go and tell the guy he needs to accept the Lord and would tell him if I forgave him or not. He could go see the guy in person or he could just write to the guy. Apparently, the prisoner has plenty of time to think about things, and he should.
Good luck to you and may God bless and help you and your friend. |
