Again and Again

For human beings forgiveness is not always a one time thing. I remember learning about this in one of my YWAM classes many years ago. If you forgive someone for something that they continue to excuse or repeat it may cause all the feelings of hurt, anger and betrayal to rise up in you again. Popular opinion is that if thinking about the offense still hurts you haven't ever really forgiven but this is untrue. So today I am working to forgive AGAIN and again, hoping that the scabs won't always be ripped off of my wounds before the new skin has had a chance to grow in over the wound.
