Biblical divorce is generally viewed as a last resort, with a strong emphasis on
reconciliation, repentance, and counseling first. The Bible provides two main exceptions permitting divorce—sexual immorality (Matthew 5:32) and abandonment by an unbeliever (1 Corinthians 7:15)—but does not command it in these cases.
Key Steps to Biblical Reconciliation:
Initiate Peace (Matthew 5:23-24): Do not wait for the other person to apologize. If a brother has something against you, leave your gift at the altar and go make peace first.
Private Confrontation (Matthew 18:15): Go to the person privately to discuss the issue, aiming to restore the relationship rather than win an argument.
Humility and Repentance (Genesis 33:1-15): Approach with a humble, non-retaliatory spirit, admitting wrongdoing and showing genuine sorrow for the pain caused.
Confession and Forgiveness: Confess sins specifically to God and the affected person, and offer/receive forgiveness to clear the slate.
Involve Others if Necessary (Matthew 18:16-17): If private efforts fail, bring one or two witnesses, and finally, the church community to facilitate resolution.
Rebuild Trust and Make Amends: Take steps to repair the damage and restore broken trust through consistent, godly behavior.
The Steps to Biblical Forgiveness
Acknowledge and Process the Hurt: Honestly admit the pain caused, bringing these emotions to God rather than suppressing them.
Decide to Obey God: Make a conscious choice to forgive based on biblical commands (e.g., Matthew 6:14-15), rather than waiting for feelings of forgiveness, which may come later.
Release the Offender:
Let go of the desire for revenge, vengeance, and the right to hold the offense against them
.
Pray for the Offender: Pray for the person who hurt you, asking for God’s blessing on them (Matthew 5:44).
Remember God's Forgiveness: Reflect on the immense grace and forgiveness you have received from God to help extend it to others.
Set Healthy Boundaries: While forgiveness is mandatory, it does not always mean immediate reconciliation. Set boundaries to protect yourself, especially in abusive situations.
Continue to Forgive: Understand that forgiveness is often a process requiring you to "try again" when painful memories return.
I have been bitter. I realize I can't Love and be bitter at the same Time. From Here on out I promise to work on my expressing Love. Forgive me for making you doubt me as a child of the King because of my disorder of doing it my way instead of implementing the scriptures on this matter of bitterness.
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.
I Corinthians 13:4-8 NKJV
