The Myth of Forgiveness

Forgiveness is not a feeling. You will never enter into forgiveness because you feel it. Your heart will follow your covenants. Do not buy into the idea that moving towards somebody in forgiveness requires reconciliation. Forgiving isn't canceling consequences from painful choices we make or that others make. We have to be a people that no matter the consequence and the fallout or the possibility that reconciliation may or may not be happening, don't allow forgiveness to die in the midst of it.
