You've heard that forgiveness isn't about the person who hurt you and that it's about you. It's true, but that doesn't make it any easier. Forgiveness is just about the hardest thing you can do because it often goes against everything we know to be right, just, and true.

If someone did something cruel, hurtful, or selfish and we forgive them, does it mean that by forgiving them we're somehow making what they did okay?

Are we setting ourselves up for it to happen again? Does forgiving someone mean we're weak or a pushover? No, no, and no. Forgiveness means we're letting ourselves off the hook, letting go of the tight grip the pain of someone else's actions has on us. It allows us to move forward, put the pain to rest, and finally heal.
