This post is a work in progress. The question of forgiveness came up at the ladies prayer breakfast on Saturday, and our assignment for the next month is to try to identify exactly was forgiveness looks like.
*What forgiveness is NOT:
1. Forgiveness is not minimizing the other person's sin.
2. Forgiveness is not placing yourself as a continual victim of abuse.
*What forgiveness IS:
1. Letting go of any retaliation or punishment.
*Thoughts:
1. If I am not at peace but am obsessing about the situation, does this mean that I have not really forgiven him or her?
2. How do I come to terms with the fact that some people are toxic? Is it possible to forgive the person but keep him or her at a safe distance?
