Someone has hurt you very badly…the question is not whether you should forgive them, but rather when. The funny thing about forgiveness is, the act is essentially for our well-being, not the perpetrator’s. In fact, sometimes the offender doesn’t even know that they’ve been forgiven…or care. Forgiveness is something kind and healing we do for ourselves. The sad alternative is carrying around pent-up bitterness and anger that will only poison mind, body, and spirit. The quicker you can say the words, “I forgive”…even if it’s between clenched teeth…the sooner you can start healing.
