Embrace the Complexity of Forgiveness

TerKeurst stresses that forgiveness is more than a personal resolve; it’s about collaborating with a grace already present. She states, 'Forgiveness isn’t an act of my determination. Forgiveness is only made possible by my cooperation.' This reframing of forgiveness as a cooperative act rather than a solo endeavor can significantly ease the emotional weight of the process. By understanding that forgiveness involves divine assistance, individuals can find it less burdensome and more achievable.
