Forgiveness, one of the greatest keys to our recovery healing journey, but it's understanding that to forgive is an act of obedience. What is my part? Am I trying to seek healing and justice on my own power and it's just leading to bitterness? Or am I giving it to him so that I can get my mind and my heart back so that God, now that it's in my possession, can begin to do his beautiful, miraculous work on healing a bleeding and broken heart, which is why we don't start with principle six.
