My brother put up his hand when I said, “I forgive you.” He shouted, “Stop! I do not need to be forgiven!” Should I not forgive under this circumstance?
Your brother should not dictate to you whether or not to forgive him. If he did wrong, and you want to forgive, then you should forgive. You can do so without proclaiming it to him. Do so in your mind and heart, and how you respond to your brother. Forgiveness is your choice and should not be stopped because someone else, even the offending person, insists that you should not. Forgiveness can set you free from resentment if you choose to practice it.
