When the hurt is very deep,don’t forgive right away. When someone hurts you deeply,God doesn’t require that you forgive right away. When your husband commits adultery,or when an uncle molests you,or when a friend betrays you.God doesn’t require that you drive out your feelings of anger “right now”. Why?
Bec we’re nt robots w/ push buttons on our chest.
In fact,God knows that we need to get angry for awhile as part of our healing. At the right time,God will ask you to surrender your anger.
