When I think about forgiveness, you don’t have to convince me that I need to forgive – I’m already on board with that. The tricky part for me is the actual forgiving. Here are some tips that might help you:
- forgiveness isn’t a feeling. Consider the Corrie Ten Boom quote, “Forgiveness is an act of the will, and the will can function regardless of the temperature of the heart.”

- proficient forgiveness requires practice
- forgiveness must be kept fresh – stale forgiveness can grow putrid in our emotions and thoughts
