Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
- Ephesians 4:32
I still continue on what Forgiveness is and what it's not;
- Forgiveness does not mean we have to revert to being the victim. Forgiving is not saying, "What you did was okay, so go ahead and walk all over me." Nor is it playing the martyr, enjoying the performance of forgiving people because it perpetuates our victim role.
- Forgiveness is not the same as reconciling. We can forgive someone even if we never can get along with him again.
- Forgiveness is a process, not an event. It might take some time to work through our emotional problems before we can truly forgive. As soon as we can, we should decide to forgive, but it probably is not going to happen right after a tragic divorce. That's okay.
- We have to forgive every time. If we find ourselves constantly forgiving, though, we might need to take a look at the dance we are doing with the other person that sets us up to be continually hurt, attacked, or abused.
Forgiveness is for our own good. No matter what, you have to forgive and let go.
TGIF! Who else have you not forgiven completely? Reflect on it and do the needful which is to forgive. God bless you and may His favour and grace continually be upon you.
Good Morning and have a wonderful Friday.
