I put a lot of effort into forgiving others, but occasionally I have weeks where I don’t want to even consider it or what happened to me. What can I do in these situations to avoid feeling badly or uneasy about putting forgiveness aside?
Let us begin with an analogy. Presume that you follow a fitness routine. Do you exercise weekly for a whole year, or do you take a break to rest, recover, and regroup? Physical trainers advise us to rest for a while. It benefits us. In the same way, imagine becoming forgivingly fit. Hard work is admirable, but to return to that work with fresh vigor, we need time off to rest and regroup. When you realize this, then you likely will not feel badly for taking time off to refresh before starting to forgive again.
