There is a cleansing and refreshing freedom which comes from forgiveness. No, of course not. No one would want to do that. And yet we are often so reluctant to forgive. Forgiving someone does not mean you must trust them or allow them into a position where they can hurt you again.
Forgiveness means simply moving on.
Forgiveness does not have to make you any less vigilant or any more vulnerable. Forgiveness does not mean that what happened was acceptable. It means that you've chosen to no longer let it hold you back. There is no real continuing benefit which comes from being a victim. Jr. All rights reserved.
