Forgiviness is and is not

1. Forgiveness is the decision to let go of resentment toward another. However, forgiveness is not the end of the discussion.

2. Forgiveness implies letting go of hate. But forgiveness does not mean one is not angry.

3. Forgiveness means that I stop attacking the other person. But we may still need to discuss the way you hurt or offended me.

4. Forgiveness changes my intention of hurting the other. It may not clear up my feelings.

5. In fact an open and frank discussion of what was done and what was felt msy help release the feelings around the issue.

6. Forgiveness is not needed because you were angry. Forgiveness, however, may be needed because of what you did or said when you were angry.

7. Forgiveness of someone who hurt you deeply in the past does not heal the emotional wound. Healing the emotional wound done at the time requires inner healing through listening prayer therapy of the core beliefs rooted into the foundation of the memory.
