Should you give another chance?

We all deserve a second chance; God gave us that when He died on the cross. The Bible says forgive seventy times seven, true BUT forgiveness doesn’t give us the ‘go’ signal to keep sinning and continuing to do the wrong things.

The same rule applies in a relationship. You can forgive but be wise and careful to entrust your heart again.

I suppose you can give him another chance after one lie, maybe after one instance of cheating or if he hurt you. We can’t change people but they can change themselves and learn a lesson from one mistake BUT if after the second chance you’ve given him, he continues to lie, to cheat and play around, I don’t think a third chance would be wise.

I encourage forgiveness but giving chances should be limited or else you’ll be condoning to the wrong things he’s been doing in his life, to you, and to others. And more likely, he will repeat it.

Don’t ignore red flags, warning signs of an abusive behavior, habitual lying, tendencies to be unfaithful; you’re seeing a preview of what your relationship will be like in a marriage with him, of how he’ll be treating you for life.

So should you give another chance? Pray and weight things BUT if this early you feel and think that he’s not doing right by you then why let yourself be tortured any further?
