Section 5:
What do you actually DO when you forgive someone?
The first thing you do is rediscover the humanity of the person who hurt you.
Surrender the right to get even.
We revise our feelings about the person who did us wrong
You know you are in the healing stream of forgiveness when you can get down on your knees- even if only half mean it- and pray that God would bless the person who hurt you.
Responsibility and blame are always sewed up in the hem of forgiveness.
You don’t forgive to avoid pain. You forgive to heal the pain. And you won’t heal unless you have felt the pain. “The cure for pain is in the pain” –mewithoutyou
Forgiveness is a process.
No matter what you’ve done in the past, God has forgiven you. He has rediscovred the beauty of your humanity. God has surrendered every right to ever get even with you. And every day God wishes you well!
Being forgiving is a way to live, not a commodity parceled out in units.
