Axel, I read what you wrote and can only tell you from my own expirence. GOD forgives us when we sin and bring it before Him if we acknowledge the sin we committed. I find it also best to go to the person and ask their forgiveness also. They my not give you the time of day, but if you are sincere and you make the effort, you will have done the will of GOD. The rest lies on the shoulders of the one you asked forgiveness of. Then strive the best you can with the help of the HOLY SPIRIT to do the will of GOD. Then establish a relationship with JESUS CHRIST and allow Him to build that freindship. If you wronged someone 5 years ago and that has been a thorn, when you come to the knowledge of the LORD, you should ask for forgiveness from the LORD and from the person you wronged. This will leave you feeling in a way that only when you do this you will feel.( Washed is one way that it can be described.) So good luck my freind and my GOD bless you and your family. Always be honest with yourself and keep the relationship with GOD in the formost of your life
This is very good advice. I can tell you from a personal point of view that if two particular people in this world would come up to me and admit what they did was wrong and apologized for it, I would be able to completely let go of what they did and be able to completely forgive them as I have been trying to for the last eight and four years. Something else that could be gained from apologizing to this person as well is you can begin to heal internally. Whether or not the guy will like you or accept the apology, you will know that you made the effort to set things right and the one who truely matters will be satisfied with that effort.
