I find it a very freeing way to view forgiveness and healing!

He can’t. Once you have been wounded, only Christ can heal you.” Love this, Lisa. I’ve never thought of it that way before.

I find that very freeing too. We just release the debt (not that it’s not hard!), because really, once someone has hurt us, they can’t ever really fix things back to how they were before the hurt anyway. We have to trust Christ for the true healing.

Too often we think of forgiveness as having to think like the person has never done what they did, but “releasing the person who hurt you from the expectation that he could ever fix the harm he did to you” helps put it into perspective and turns us to Christ, who is the only one who can heal us. Love the last paragraph, too.
