What forgiveness is, and isn't
Today's talk · preview
Day 33. Today we talk about forgiveness.
Let's be clear about what it is. Forgiveness means you stop making someone pay for what they did. You stop using it as a weapon. You stop replaying it to prove you're right.
And here's what it isn't. Forgiveness isn't pretending it didn't hurt. It isn't saying it was fine. And it never means staying in danger. If you are being hurt, threatened, or controlled, your safety comes first. The National Domestic Violence Hotline number is on your screen. Forgiving someone and protecting yourself can happen at the same time.
