If you’ve ever really forgiven somebody, forgiven some real wrong, all forgiveness is suffering. If you say “I forgave and I didn’t suffer,” it wasn’t that serious a wrong. But if you have ever really been wronged, and if you have forgiven it, then you have suffered. Because all forgiveness is a form of suffering.
Forgiveness means we pay our betrayer’s debt.
Thanks for sharing my article on Forgiving Betrayers.
It IS hard, it IS thorns; and it is so very needed.
We can only do it with the forgiveness we’ve received.
