[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 687613, member: 11791"] In order for there to be something to forgive, there has to be a problem - hurt, pain, anger, loss. When I am on the receiving end of these, I have to choose how I handle it, for ME. I can either continue to carry the hurt/pain/anger/loss, or I can learn how to release it (not "let it go" like a balloon, but release it like a muscle knot, working it out). Part of that is the provision of forgiveness. However. My forgiveness toward the perpetrator does the perpetrator no good, unless that person is truly repentant for what they have done. Therefore, my gift of forgiveness is first to myself, and second to set the stage for the other to know being forgiven. It doesn't release the other person unless they seek to be released. I had to work through this myself, in order to set myself free. [/QUOTE]
