Something special has been taken from you, and it's gone. Someone, by their actions, (whether intentional or unintentional) has changed your life forever. It becomes like an accident scene, the wreckage before you is your life.
What to do?
Take revenge? Pretend it didn't happen? Try to get on with life hoping time will heal?
Is there such a thing as instant forgiveness?
A trap you could fall into is to build a shrine of remembrance, continually reliving the pain.
Some steps that might help:
1. Keep walking with your God.
2. As much as it hurts, and as insincere as it may seem, pray for the person who has caused you such hurt. In so doing you are telling God you would like to forgive but you are unable at this moment.
3. In a year or two or three you will have walked far enough away, and what you have been taught of God on that journey, will enable you to let it go. You will know it's gone when you hear their name and your heart remains still.
(O.T. Israel walked with God through the wilderness, they came to a place called Marah, a place of bitter disappointment, they could have remained there for the rest of their life. God had not brought them out of Egypt to live in Marah, they overcame Marah and travelled to Elim, an oasis in the desert.)
4. Resist the temptation to return to the scene of the accident.
Forgiveness
o Is for your benefit, to set you free and perhaps someone else.
o Does not mean the person that hurt you is free from the consequences of their action.
o Is not reconciliation, reconciliation happens when the person who hurts you is genuinely sorry for their action.
o Maybe the person you need to forgive is yourself?
o Is about keeping your heart pure.
Matthew 5:8 Jesus said, blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
