Also difficult to imagine is to talk to someone in private and tell them that they have sinned against me. I have a list of people I have wronged and will soon talk to them about how I have wronged them, but to tell someone how they have wronged me is the opposite. I imagine that person will feel as if they are being accused or blamed although doing that sort of thing in private is better than in public.
There is one person that I think of particularly that sinned against me. My brother-in-law who came over angry over my foolishness and yelled, would not leave when I asked him and threatened me with violence. I can imagine explaining how I wronged him by interrupting his day by giving him a reason to come over. I can't imagine how I would say, "dude you sinned me but I forgive you." His response would likley be,"I sinned you?!"
I do like the depth of forgiveness described by the song "What Sin?" and by many of the verses. To understand the depth of forgiveness I should have towards others is equal the depth of forgiveness I want God to have towards me.
