If someone hurt your feelings once then immediately apologized, what would you do? You’d probably shake it off and let things go, right? But what if that same person continued to hurt your feelings over and over again? If they kept apologizing, but their actions never change, forgiveness would be harder to practice. Yet Jesus commands us to forgive every time someone asks for forgiveness. The thing is, it would be impossible to do if it weren’t for God modeling the way for us. We can practice Jesus’s command by allowing God’s love to flow through us as we forgive others. Pray that God will give you a heart that stays ready to forgive.

About this Plan
Okay so you've forgiven, but how can you tell if it's even working? The hurt, frustration, or confusion is still very real and "they" never actually said sorry. It can feel sweet to stay bitter. But maybe there's a better answer. We'll learn how when you don't forgive, it hurts you, that everybody needs forgiveness, and how it's okay that healing doesn't always happen overnight.
