Did you know that you can forgive someone even if they are not sorry?
They don’t have to be sorry in order for you to forgive them.
They don’t even have to know that you have forgiven them.
Forgiveness is about you, not them.
Forgiveness is about acknowledging and releasing the pain, fear and hurt to God.
Jesus said in Matthew 6:12, “Forgive us what we have done wrong, as we too have forgiven those who have wronged us.” (CJB)
Forgiveness is not always about restoring trust in someone, but it is always about trusting God with your heart.
Forgive them for your sake and pour out the pain they caused you in God’s healing presence today.
Then ask God what boundaries you need to set for future interactions.
