More than difficult
when you’re hurting,
when you’ve been
slighted,
alienated,
disregarded,
overlooked,
rejected.
So hard because
extending grace
is what forgiveness is.
Grace’s definition:
unmerited favor.
Unmerited.
Favor.
What makes this more problematic:
If we are ever going to be able to extend
unmerited favor
to someone else,
we’ll need to
extend it
to
ourselves
first.
