I totally understand the concept of forgiveness. I really do. However, I still find it a struggle. Do you?
Recently there was (what in my opinion) was a major mix up. I do understand that it really was a misunderstanding. But, it still hurt my feelings in a major way. I've forgiven, but I find that it still hurts. I've prayed about it and it still hurts. It still makes me want to cry.
Maybe it is like a physical wound. It may have been accidental, but it may still physically hurt. I'm not angry. Just hurt. I'm not quite sure what to do with that hurt. But maybe like a physically injury it will go away with time.
Any thoughts?

ah, i've been through a very similar situation recently, so i can identify. i think all we can do is pray, pray, pray and let God change our hearts and do the healing.
forgiveness is such a hard thing. i think we can forgive but still have a raw soul...and i think that's ok.
but we do have to release it into His hands...and it's tough....it's tough.
