Forgiveness takes time.
It’s not a one-time thing. It’s a process of healing.
Steps in the process:
- Face the hurt. Be honest about what happened.
- Acknowledge your feelings. Anger, pain, shame — all are real.
- Decide to forgive. This choice may take courage every day.
- Let go of revenge. Don’t feed the pain by replaying it.
- Pray or reflect. Ask for strength to stay free of bitterness.
Healing happens a little at a time. That’s normal.
