What now

What do you do when someone asks you to forgive them?  

You love them more than anything but the pain is so great that you can't even see forgiveness right now.  You know it could be there someday, but the wound is still too fresh and painful and stressful. 

The love is still there and still growing, that has not stopped or halted, and yes it is greater today than yesterday.



Now there are others that have never said they were sorry for the pain they caused.  They have said and done things so painful that it is easy to deal with it because you never see them again. 

Then there are even more that ask for forgiveness but don't tell you what they have done exactly because they have been so secret about the damage they have done to you that you don't even see the trail leading back to them. 

Forgiveness, what is it to ask for and give?
