"On the same basis that you forgive you are forgiven."
That is missed by many.

Parable tells of a man who had a large debt and was forgiven yet went after someone who owed very little and the forgiven debtor did not forgive the small debt. The ruler who forgave found out and took away the forgiveness...

Forgiveness is not to be with-held..even when someone hurts you terribly.

"Guard your heart guard your mind in Christ Jesus."
Your heart and mind are connected.

Forgiveness doesn't invite the person to hurt you again...
I have learned discernment sometimes requires a safe distance...some people will NEVER be safe...they seem to be sleep walking and oblivious to harming others.

Forgiveness can be a process as is healing.
Forgiveness heals you!

Funny how when you love it's easier to forgive.
"Love covers a multitude of sins."
