Has a person truly forgiven if anger emerges again when thinking about the one who misbehaved?
If the anger is going down to manageable levels and if the one who forgives can genuinely wish the other person well (to use an expression by the late Lewis Smedes), then it seems that forgiving is taking place. Sometimes not all of the anger leaves. Yet, as one person said to me, “My anger used to control me, but now I am in control of my anger.”
