3 Ways to Forgive Someone Who Has Hurt You Deeply

1. Prepare in Advance to Forgive Someone “When” They Hurt You Deeply

The more you believe in someone’s perfection, the more it hurts you when you see their imperfections. By preparing for imperfection before you see it, it can better equip you to offer forgiveness, because it will be needed.

2. Forgive Imperfect People Who Have Hurt You Deeply Because of Your Perfect God

Christians are called to always forgive not because people deserve this but because God always deserves this from us (Ephesians 4:32).

3. Remember that Reconciliation Is a Process But Forgiveness Is a Choice
God wants us to be reconciled when possible. Sometimes it’s not possible because you would be then acting unwise with your heart (Proverbs 4:23). If you do reconcile, it takes time to mend the relationship. Forgiveness, however, is a choice we can make in an instant. Forgiveness is when you no longer punish someone even though they deserve it.
Forgiveness is not a feeling. It’s a decision.
