Forgiving another person when we have been wronged is one of the hardest things that we will ever have to do. So when I found this list that helps to describe what forgiveness really looks like, I felt that I needed to share it here.
The four promises of forgiveness:
1. “I will not dwell on this incident.”
2. “I will not bring up this incident again and use it against you.”
3. “I will not talk to others about this incident.”
4. “I will not let this incident stand between us or hinder our personal relationship.”
This list comes from the book The Peacemaker by Ken Sande. You can also find this list on Ken Sande’s website RW360.org – Going beyond emotional intelligence
