- Forgiveness- One of the reasons God may put irritable people around us is so that we can practice forgiving others. Forgiveness is 'letting it go', not holding an offense against someone else and if I let an offense go, why would I keep track of how many times they've offended me? That would not be 'letting it go'. No limit is to be placed on how many times we forgive others. An instinctive response need to be developed in us towards the offense of others against us, we need to make it a habit to immediately let the offense go.
