After Forgiveness, Now What? What can we expect after we have forgiven our offender? Is it possible to lose the benefits of forgiveness we once enjoyed? In this lesson, you will learn that temptations will indeed arise, but there are ways to hold our ground. 2. Avoid Volatile Situations A forgiveness-driven lifestyle demands that we choose our friendships and relationships wisely. Various situations will bring volatile situations such as differences in temperaments, cultures, upbringing, and worldviews. In this lesson, you will learn how to use wisdom as a shield from danger and unnecessarily volatile situations. 3. Forgive Quickly Striking the iron while it is hot is a practice that applies to leading a lifestyle of forgiveness. Delaying your decision to forgive someone may lead to some repercussions. Conversely, forgiving quickly incurs some benefits. In this lesson, you will explore in detail how to forgive quickly and reap the benefits this practice brings. You will thus avoid the possibility of forgetting without forgiving. 4. Hold a Consistent Quiet Time with God The central question is: How can I find the motivation to constantly forgive on a daily basis? The answer lies in the strength of God. This lesson will examine the importance of a good devotional life and how to cultivate one. You will enjoy the strength that can only come from above and that will help you forgive on a daily basis. 5. Expect to be Hurt Recognizing the reality of an imperfect world ultimately means we need to lead a lifestyle of forgiveness. Forgiveness of fellow men is not required in Heaven; the need to forgive will pass away once we have left the Earth and its imperfections. In this lesson, you will learn how to deal with human frailty through forgiveness like our Savior who paved the path for us. You will learn how to avoid unexpected turmoil due to unanticipated hurts and disappointments. And because you have been on the other side of the fence, where you too have hurt others, you will be ready to forgive others as well. 6. For the Sake of God The obvious question becomes: Why should I forgive? Your motivation to forgive becomes crucial in these moments when every nerve in you is crying out to retaliate and pay back your offender in his own coin. You will learn five powerful ways to hold on to your forgiveness by relying on your reverential view for God. These powerful tools will become your anchor to hold you steady.
