Can there ever be a downside to forgiveness? Biblically speaking, of course not. Every Christian knows what a wonderful gift forgiveness is. If you are anything like me, you’ll love to sing the hymn, ‘And Can It Be.’ We sing the first few verses in excitement as part of the build-up to the last couple of lines in verse four. In my mind I hear trumpets blaring, cymbals crashing, bass and soprano voices doing what I cannot as we sing “… my chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.” But what follows in our personal experience of forgiving someone who has hurt us, might not always feel so great.
