Having received the following question, I responded via my column in the His Favor Newsletter: Dear Ami, I understand the importance of forgiveness, but is reconciliation the same thing? Must I reconcile with everyone, even unsafe people? Signed, Cautious…. Wow! What a sticky question! Come read my response at amiloper.com
Honestly, I can think of no better gift to give you than the gift of freeing yourself and those around you from the baggage of disappointment, regret and relational pain. I’m tackling the biggest gap to get over: the gap between what I wanted for or from myself and what my reality is.
There is a GAP. A distance between reality and what we have hoped for. And until we learn to forgive the gap, we cannot embrace the reality we have been given. Will you forgive the gap or live in a perpetual state of grief, disappointment and hurt?
