Beautiful. Blew me away (((NWTR)))
We can forgive in our hearts before we ever verbalize the words "I forgive."
We may or may not choose to express our forgiveness directly to the one who injured us,
depending on our sense of the situation between that person and ourselves.
Forgiving usually involves a process of inner healing. I believe it is entirely valid for
people to forgive for the sake of their own well-being and inner healing,
as well as for this reason: God forgives.
Inner healing is a giant step spiritually.
Forgiving is another.

(((for those who are able to forgive others)))) includes me on both counts and both ends of the spectrum.
