"I thought I had forgiven them… so why does it still hurt?"

This is a question I've asked myself more than once and one I hear often in Christian counseling.

Here's what I've come to realize: Forgiveness is a choice. Healing is a process.

In this post, I share what the Bible says about the difference between forgiveness and healing, and how we can give ourselves grace in the process.

If you're still hurting and wondering what comes next, I hope this encourages you: https://crossroadcounselor.com/christian-living/forgiveness-vs-healing/

In the rush of daily life, connection can quietly slip to the bottom of the list.
