Maybe we need to spend less energy trying to forgive people for how we think they’ve sinned against us and spend more energy forgiving them for making choices that we don’t agree with.
The first indicates an assumed failure on the part of the other person with no ownership on our part, but the second frees them to be … free. Free to make choices that are different and sometimes very different than the choices we have made or would chose to make in their position.
Forgiveness isn’t judgment… forgiveness is letting go without the need for judgment
