5th statement PP

Forgiveness is easier for children than adults. Words can hurt more than physical harm. Forgiving those closest to us is the hardest. God wants us to forgive others. The speaker, a 17-year-old, finds forgiveness hard but has been able to do it with conviction. All right, for our fifth statement that I've chosen of the book, Mere Christianity is, everyone says forgiveness is a lovely idea until they have something to forgive. What do you think of that? Yeah, I think forgiveness, when you're younger as a child, forgiveness is a lot easier to forgive, you know, they say sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me. And I think once you get older, you realize it's the opposite, that words hurt a lot more deeper than sticks and stones. And forgiving once you're older is a whole lot harder because sometimes it's the people closest to you that do the most damage to you that cause the most pain. And those are the people that are hardest to forgive. And those are the ones that God wants us to forgive. Because it says forgive others and you shall be forgiven. What do you think? So I totally agree with the children and adult idea that children have it easier to forgive than adults do. And me being still young at 17 years old, forgiving is also hard for me too. But for some reason I find it also easy to forgive others. I've had a few instances where I had to forgive someone and I had to just build a confidence, I just had to go and do it. Like God just puts this conviction, like you just gotta do it and I'll go and do it. I agree.
