Forgiveness is not weakling.

Just as it is said in this amazing contest, "forgiveness is that quality that is uncommon in the world around us. In our world today it is very difficult to forgive and let go. Those that do forgive again sometimes are taking for granted, their acts of forgiveness are sometimes misinterpreted to mean they are weak.

A wife with such perspective or school of thought may want to take her husband for granted, during counselings as a Pastor I have experience such cases. Never you mistake your husband's forgiving spirit to mean he is a weak man. This is why some men seems to be very had and tough because of fear that they may be taking for granted.

No one is too Big to Forgive or to be Forgiven.

Human being can not in anyway ignore the significance of forgiveness or the consequences of lack of forgiveness wether they are rich or poor, fat or slim, black or white, boss or subordinate; your religion not withstanding, culture and tradition old or young, man or woman we must forgive.

You may be a religion leader or a deity, situations at times in our lives will always require us to ether forgive or plea to be forgiven. Sometimes it seems impossible to live a perfect live without being offended or you offending another. Funny enough your actions or inactions at times do still offend others, I see it to be a kind of natural in our journey as human being.

Husbands do offend their wives or sometimes wives do offend their husbands, children offending parents or parent offending their childrens. Subordinate do offend their superiors or superiors offending subordinate officers at work. Whichever we find ourselves, always remember to forgive. Creat an accommodative space in your heart to always let go.

Don't be too Big to Apologise.

Father be humble to ask your wife or children for forgiveness when situation requires, mother and children be humble to do like wise. Don't be too big to ask God our maker for forgiveness for our iniquities to be forgiven. We must unashamedly apologize to each other anytime we wrong each oder. I discovered that lack of sorry has caused so much havock in many families, working places, marriages etc.

The Worth or Power of Forgiveness.

I view forgiveness as a healing tab that can get rid of this enemy of the soul call bitterness. Bitterness can bring set backs in the life of its victim beyond imagination, the damages bitterness can cause is very vast which can be very threatening to the soul or life of a victim.

Always do everything possible to get rid of it to avoid being a victim of its casualty, and the way out of it is to forgive those who offend you. Important enough when we forgive it brings healing to our spirit and soul.

It is so important to note that when the disciples ask Jesus to be taught on how to pray, the portion of that prayer model was "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespasses against us. You can imagine with the bulk of the numerous and enumerable needs of men Jesus picked this important topic "forgiveness" in just a short prayer model which potrays it value and worth.

Is there any scenario that took place in your family which brings out the beauty of this quality?

Yes of course! Just like any other family, my family talking about my father mother and down to us the children and our wives; the spirit of forgiveness has being the reason why we have not tear apart like others.
Lack of Forgiveness has scattered marriages or families, it has destroyed relationships. Forgiveness has helped my family to bond without separation all this while.

I'm inviting @saintkelvin17, @samuelernest and @josepha to join this contest.

You have spoken well, it is true that we can not escape the need for forgiveness regardless of our person and having the spirit of forgiveness keeps the family from tear apart.

Don't be too Big to Apologise.

Thank you for participating in the Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 17 in the Steem kids and parents Community.

Mistaken forgiveness is the worst thing that can happen. When one means to ask for forgiveness, I think it should be valued. But if it happens otherwise, then it can be devastating. Thank you for your entry

I agree with you that it is really difficult to forgive and let go displeasure we got from people and sometimes we felt like not forgiving at all, it's obvious to everyone because we're not perfect as humans. But we got a lot of happiness when we forgive and let go of it, we got peace if mind, we boost our self esteem and our blood flows well. When we forgive, everyone got happiness and peace reign. You just share a nice post with us and I wish you best of luck.

Welcome @cletuskevin! Your message resonates deeply, emphasizing the profound importance of tolerance in our lives, regardless of our status, background, or role in society. She eloquently highlighted the misconception that forgiveness is a sign of weakness, when in fact it requires great strength and humility. Your personal experience with forgiveness within your family beautifully illustrates its transformative power in maintaining connections and preventing relationship breakages. It is a testament to the resilience and strength that forgiveness can bring to family relationships. Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts and experiences with us and we wish you good luck!

I really appreciate your amazing feedback friend. Big thanks.

You have said it all that, people who forgive always are sometimes taken for granted and can also be seen as weaklings but don't let that deter you from exhibiting the characteristics of forgiveness. Because it is for your mental health. So forgiveness can seen as a healing tab that can cure bitterness. That is why if care not taken lack of forgiveness in a family can tear apart relationships, scatter marriages and so on.
