"True forgiveness only happens when the other person apologizes. Until then, you’re justified in holding a grudge."

But Scripture offers a different perspective on the nature of forgiveness. In the book of Mark 11:25, it says, "And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."

This verse teaches us that forgiveness isn’t just a reaction; it’s a decision we make for our own peace and a clear heart. God invites us to forgive even when apologies may never come.
