Forgiveness removes pain and grudge from your heart. You become happier and this is what the Lord desires for you. When your heart is pure, the Lord can find a place in it and fill it with love. When your life is free from grudge, the Lord can start sending you miracles.

Below I share how to forgive someone who has hurt you in 15 steps:

1. Step 1: Move On to the Next Act.
2. Step 2: Reconnect to Spirit.
3. Step 3: Don’t Go to Sleep Angry.
4. Step 4: Switch the Focus from Blaming Others to Understanding Yourself.
5. Step 5: Avoid Telling People What to Do.
6. Step 6: Learn to Let Go and Be Like Water.

In other words, to forgive someone is to acknowledge that a wrong has been committed, but you do not hold that against a person. In light of these points, here are some characteristics of grace and forgiveness: patience, kindness, mercy, and most of love.

Forgiving a lying boyfriend is more than just a matter of accepting his promise that he won’t repeat the action. It takes time to allow yourself to really forgive him and he must be willing to accept certain conditions in order to move forward in your relationship.

If you are certain you are being lied to, you can react in one out of four ways:

1. You can do nothing. Maybe you are not winning much from calling someone out.
2. Use humor – acknowledge the lie but give the liar a chance to admit without creating an awkward situation.
3. Interrogate the defendant.
4. Call them out.

How to deal with liars.

1. Separate yourself from their behavior. One of the biggest problems we face when encountering a liar is usually that of personalization.
2. Check and confirm your facts.
3. Protect yourself.
4. Ask for the story in reverse.
5. Call them out.
6. Hold on to your integrity.
7. Always reflect.
8. Accept who they are.

When someone lies, they are essentially putting their own self interest before those of others. Their unwillingness to make a sacrifice for the greater, long term good of a relationship is another indicator that they do not place a high value on it.
