You posed a question as to if psychologist guidance persuades people to
forgive for selfish reasons? I think that the intention of a psychologist is
not for selfish reasons, but to see if a person can cope with forgiveness
can assist in identifying whether they are partial to their needs or
reference the needs of others. We often forget the scripture that states
that when you did it to the least of them, you do it to me ((King James
Bible, 2008, Matthew 25:40). Our world is broken up into two categories
believers and nonbelievers. Relatively what follows as a kind of salvation
by works, one should understand those true believers will live according to
the word of God. It is the believer's responsibility to associate with and
assist the non-believers; sometimes, you are the only bible they will ever
read. To reach those believers, you must accommodate their physical
needs. If a person is hungry, you would not want to lecture them on what
a great meal you had until after they have had something to eat. I think
psychologists fit the epitome of catering to the immediate needs so. After
those needs have been satisfied, the additional therapies can shed light at
the end of the tunnel by meeting the mental and spiritual needs. To show
genuine love for God, you must serve His people. It is effortless to forgive
someone you love and care for, but what about that person who works on
every nerve in your body. It is a true testament of your faith when you can
set aside your issue and forgive despite how you feel for them.
