I especially liked these lines: "I don’t believe He means we should trust the other person as if the injury never happened. We are still allowed to protect ourselves, if need be, by being cautious around that person and maintaining boundaries that keep us from falling victim again. But we must refuse to let the person have the power over us of destroying our peace and our journey toward Joy" I remember discovering a whole new understanding of forgiveness when I realized God doesn’t ask us to forgive and forget…just to forgive.
