It took me a while to find compassion and forgiveness in my heart. It was difficult because I jumped from one extreme, being too forgiving, to another extreme, being too self-righteous.
I had to learn about forgiveness and I thought that so many of us have a trouble knowing what IS and ISN’T forgiveness, that I made a short video about it to answer many of the common questions we face when it comes to forgiveness:
- What if I’m not ready to forgive?
- Does this mean reconciliation?
- If I forgive, won’t the person just do it again? How can I make sure that doesn’t happen?
- What if I just want them to know the pain I feel/felt?
- How much time do I have to really forgive?
On the other hand:
- I want to be forgiven, how can I show that I am sincerely sorry?
