I’ve been learning that forgiveness doesn’t come from a vending machine called prayer.
Forgiveness is a continuing reminder for us to pray
— to grieve, to heal —
each time our wounds ache.
Stay in those hard places and have a conversation with God about it.
Talk out loud as you take a walk alone outside.
Or write God a very long letter.
To practice forgiveness the way Jesus calls us to, we are inviting God to enter into our pain — a place of faith.
Forgiveness, after all, was never meant to be robotic.
That’s why God gives us faith.
