In not wanting someone who hurt us to US Air Force US Air Force downplay or forget the gravity of their wrong, we cling to anger, Capt. Athina C.

King US Navy A good self-reflective posture will quickly show us that when the US Army SPC Melissa Tipton shoe is on the other foot and we are the ones in need of Cadet Dennis A.

It is hypocritical to want one 2nd Class Petty Officer West Point thing for ourselves and something else for another. Yet, many Brandon C. Miner SPC Tyler Miller act in precisely this way. US Navy US Army Perhaps we think in offering forgiveness, even for the most Lt. Col. Nicholas Popp US Airman Ashton Sulick grievous of wrongs, that somehow excuses the person of their US Air Force US Airforce wrong and makes it almost acceptable. This is what makes Major Ryan M. Sullivan CWO 2 Brian S. Curran revenge, retaliation, and punishment so attractive. We see US Army US Navy forgiveness as being an eraser that easily wipes away the offense without consequence.

It does not erase anything or Monday: Nm 21:4b-9/Ps 78:1bc-2, 34-35, 36-37, position me vulnerably as a doormat to be walked on. 38 [cf. 7b]/Phil 2:6-11/Jn 3:13-17 Forgiveness is an act of freedom that restores honest dialogue, Tuesday: 1 Cor 12:12-14, 27-31a/Ps 31:2 and 3b, shares true and heartfelt feelings, and acknowledges the consequences of an action. It admits that the wrong has caused 3cd-4, 5-6, 15-16, 20 [17]/Jn 19:25-27 or Lk 2:33-35 a hurt that must be healed and squarely positions responsibility Wednesday: 1 Cor 12:31—13:13/Ps 33:2-3, 4-5, on the offender. The act of forgiveness recognizes our sinfulness and brokenness. It also admits that the most saintly among us is 12 and 22 [12]/Lk 7:31-35 capable of doing very grave and deep harm to another person.
