So it happens. The fallen-ness of our world does its work, and someone, somewhere hurts you. The assault begins to try to prevent you from allowing the Nature of your Creator and Redeemer to flow through you. Then you go to a pastor or christian counselor and they say the dreaded words. “You have to forgive…”
So we either begin to resist, or try to comply. Resistance comes from a variety of misunderstandings, and if compliance comes without understanding we may try to forgive and wonder why we still start to twitch when we see “that woman” at the grocery store.
