There are 3 kinds of forgiveness, they are personal, unilateral and transactional.
Personal forgiveness is you forgiving yourself , you may feel that you don’t deserve his mercy, grace and blessing, but God longs to give them to you. Forgive yourself, don’t try to cover up your past regrets, confess them to God and let it go and walk in God’s grace.
Unilateral forgiveness is when you forgive someone who hasn’t asked for forgiveness and may not have even repented of their offenses, you are offering unilateral forgiveness. you are granting them forgiveness on your own without their involvement. Unilateral forgiveness doesn’t just release the other person, it also releases you.
Transactional forgiveness is when the offender offers an apology and you offer forgiveness. It restores something that has been broken in a relationship. When confession and repentance take place the person usually wants the relationship to be reconciled.
