" Scholar Lewis Smedes explained that forgiveness isn't to excuse the one who hurt us; forgiveness means we are ready to be healed."

As For Me
When someone hurts me, I create schemes to help them feel how painful their thoughtlessness was. There is NO healing in that.
I do better to remember Jesus' words: "Forgive them for they do not know what they are doing." (Luke 23:34 NIV)
Practicing,
