If my friend refuses to forgive a particular person, is it my business to try to convince her otherwise?
You need to be careful with what you say to her and how you approach her on this. If you truly think it is in her best interest to forgive, you might try saying something like this: “I understand your frustration, and forgiveness is your choice. Your ‘no’ to forgiving today is not necessarily your final word on the matter. You might change your mind in weeks or months to come. Try to see forgiveness for what it is, without distorting it as some kind of ineffective response or bad because people pressure you to forgive. As you understand what forgiveness truly is and is not, be aware of any internal changes that occur within you regarding it. I am here to discuss this with you if you wish.”
