Yup, that pretty much all applies to me!
10 Things Forgiveness Is Not
many Christians do not rightly ascertain what forgiveness truly is and is not, and so I’ve got a long list for you 1. Forgiveness is not approving or diminishing sin. It’s not saying, “Well, it’s okay. Nobody’s perfect. 2. Forgiveness is not enabling sin. You can forgive someone without enabling their sin, participating in it. 3. Forgiveness is not denying a wrongdoing. Forgiveness is not denying that you were sinned against. 4. Forgiveness is not waiting for an apology. you forgive them before they apologize. 5. Forgiveness is not forgetting. it’s not like God has no idea what you did yesterday. He forgets nothing. It means that he chooses to see us as new creations and he chooses to work for a new future. 6. Forgiveness is not ceasing to feel the pain. It’s okay for it to bother you. 7. Forgiveness is not a onetime event.
8. Forgiveness is not neglecting justice. 9. Forgiveness is not trusting. 10. Forgiveness is not reconciliation.
