To forgive doesn’t mean you were never hurt or that the scars will instantly disappear. When we forgive, we begin a process of freeing someone the debt they owe for pain inflicted. When we forgive, we grow in awareness of the many wounds we’ve inflicted, even unknowingly. We grow in awareness of the mercy shown us. We grow in appreciation for the joy of human growth over time. When we forgive, we grow in humility & tenderness. Forgive.
