“Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, when someone won’t stop doing wrong to me, how many times must I forgive them? Seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you, you must forgive them more than seven times. You must continue to forgive them even if they do wrong to you seventy-seven times. “So God’s kingdom is like a king who decided to collect the money his servants owed him. The king began to collect his money. One servant owed him several thousand pounds of silver. He was not able to pay the money to his master, the king. So the master ordered that he and everything he owned be sold, even his wife and children. The money would be used to pay the king what the servant owed. “But the servant fell on his knees and begged, ‘Be patient with me. I will pay you everything I owe.’ The master felt sorry for him. So he told the servant he did not have to pay. He let him go free. “Later, that same servant found another servant who owed him a hundred silver coins. He grabbed him around the neck and said, ‘Pay me the money you owe me!’ “The other servant fell on his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me. I will pay you everything I owe.’ “But the first servant refused to be patient. He told the judge that the other servant owed him money, and that servant was put in jail until he could pay everything he owed. All the other servants saw what happened. They felt very sorry for the man. So they went and told their master everything that happened. “Then the master called his servant in and said, ‘You evil servant. You begged me to forgive your debt, and I said you did not have to pay anything! So you should have given that other man who serves with you the same mercy I gave you.’ The master was very angry, so he put the servant in jail to be punished. And he had to stay in jail until he could pay everything he owed. “This king did the same as my heavenly Father will do to you. You must forgive your brother or sister with all your heart, or my heavenly Father will not forgive you.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18:21-35‬ ‭

I hate having to make apologies, but sometimes apologies relieve us of a whole lot of unpleasantness, perhaps. As for God's role in this, maybe he doesn't have one. Maybe it's up to us whether or not we apologize.

When we hurt someone, I believe we should apologise...also when I do this..I feel great peace in my spirit...God,wants us to be peacemaker and humble ourselves.

It might depend on how badly we hurt someone. If one is not perfect, they can be guilty of all kinds of tiny acts of selfishness, perhaps.

Apologising, is the act of peace making, which is scriptural.

If we apologized for every selfish act, would we have time for anything else?

What; other than the will of GOD within ones own life, would you rather be doing?

Apologies and humility go hand in hand.  Pride is the only reason I can think of that stops anyone from apologizing.
