Some people are not confused about what they are doing to you. They are counting on your forgiveness to keep doing it.
The 70x7 forgiver is a toxic person's dream. Hurt. Apologize. Repeat. Because your grace has no limits and their behavior has no consequences.
Let's be clear about what forgiveness is not:
- A reset button for repeated harm
- An obligation to stay close to someone who keeps hurting you
- A substitute for wisdom and consequences
Forgiveness frees your heart from hatred. It is something you do before God for your own healing. It has nothing to do with giving continued access to someone who has shown you who they are.
You can forgive fully and still walk away. Grace without wisdom is not a virtue. It is an open door.
Drop a heart if this is something you needed to hear today. β€οΈ
