AllBlack:
If you forgive a snake one more time then you deserve to die by the venom of that very snake.

No matter how many times a snake sheds its skin, it will always be a snake.

Keep being emotional and thinking of forgiveness, that is how weak people get eaten.

God has not given you the spirit of fear
Not even snakes.If you only first believe in Jesus by accepting to love and forgive

17. These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages. 18. They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won't hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed." (Mark 16: 17-18)
Another version

17. These signs will be with those who believe. They will drive bad spirits out of people by using my name. They will speak new languages. 18. They will take up snakes. If they drink poison, it will not make them sick. They will put their hands on sick people and sick people will get well again.’ (Mar 16: 17-18)



Except you don't believe in Jesus,
If you do, he would make it easy for you to forgive
You just have to make up your mind first and tell him(Jesus) that you are willing to forgive.
When you do this,because you believe what Jesus has said that if you love him(by following his commandments) he would love you and he would manifest himself to you. You won't need to fear any snake or anything at all[/b]

OP Amingol

OP!

Do you love Jesus?
Do you know what actually can make Jesus love you

Jesus said
21. Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and [b]manifest myself to him." 22. Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?" 23. Jesus answered him, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. (John 14: 21-23)

OP Amingol

If you are a Christian (or even a Muslim)

I need to tell you that you have to "urgently" forgive your cousin

Reasons are
1.God would be really happy with you
2.You would not experience hardship again

How do I know this
Firstly, Jesus commanded in Luke 6

27. "But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. 28. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you. (Luke 6: 27-28) [/b

Are you a true son of God?
Are you a true child of God!
If you think so, do you meet this criteria: But love your enemies, and do [them] good, and lend, never despairing; and your reward shall be great, and [b]ye shall be sons of the Most High: [/b]for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil. (Luk 6: 35)
[bIf you can't forgive your cousin,I'm sorry you can't say you are a true son of God because,your Father in heaven himself is still kind to the evil and unthankful people.
Now,do you know the major advantage of truly being a Child of God?
You would have an easy access to ask him for your needs and get them, without any form of stress.
This criteria is very important,and it is highly overlooked by Christians who spend hours praying and going through hunger in churches everywhere and still hate people in their hearts.

Jesus said
"Love your neighbors as yourself"
If you love your cousin,you wouldn't find it difficult to forgive him
If you don't love your cousin,you have no relationship with God because it means you are not following the teachings of Christ:
Anyone who wanders away from this teaching has no relationship with God. But anyone who remains in the teaching of Christ has a relationship with both the Father and the Son. (2John 1: 9)

OP, do you have needs that you have made known to God, in most cases, he has not answered because you probably don't have a relationship with him according to this verse above
See this also:
8. But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9. God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. 10. This is real love-- not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. 11. Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. (1John 4: 8-11)

OP Amingol, don't put yourself into an unending cycle of hardship and suffering because you don't have a true relationship with God.
Don't let a simple act of forgiving someone hinder you from getting everything you need from God as his son.

22. And we will receive from him whatever we ask because we obey him and do the things that please him. 23. And this is his commandment: We must believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he commanded us. (1John 3: 22-23)

OP! OP!!!
I suffered for many years because I did not have the knowledge of all these things I am telling you right now
I spent days praying, crying, going through hunger(in the name of Fasting), enduring frustration but nothing, not a single thing changed.It all seemed like God had ignored me.
But now, with all these verses and others, I finally knew why it was like that.

Things are now falling in place drastically

I usually feel like crying for all the needless suffering and thankfulness for the simple knowledge that it's ignorance has caused me pain all these while
