  3. I can only imagine the faith it takes to forgive your child’s abuser. I know that I have had a hard time with forgiving. I am working on it as He works in me. Thank you.

  5. Forgiveness is often misunderstood. Thank you so much for proclaiming what forgiveness isn’t. I teach women in drug & alcohol rehabs. About 90% of these ladies suffered some kind of child abuse. Most of them can’t forgive, because they mistakenly believe forgiveness is forgetting and condoning. In hopes that many of these precious ladies will read this post, I’m sharing it on social media.

    1. I was right there myself for a long time! I pray others find truth, freedom, and the benefit of forgiveness! Bless you for your much-needed work!

  7. This is well presented and thought out. It’s good to read an in-depth post on forgiveness. Have you read “Bold Love” by Dan Allender and Tremper Longman? They also talk about forgiveness and reconciliation and how one is inviting the other person back into the house, but the offending party still has to wipe their feet before they can set foot inside in order for there to be reconciliation.

  9. Wow, beautifully written and well done. This has been such a hard thing for my husband who was abused growing up by his dad. Forgiveness is such a hard thing to truly do. Sometimes you think you have then something comes back up and you have to realize you never really have. Even adults struggle with this.

    1. Yes, I have found it’s a continuous process in some cases! Choosing and choosing again to let it go and give it back to God. I pray your husband can find healing, freedom, and the ability to forgive! Thank you for reading and for your kind comment!
