Forgiveness is not because they deserve it. It's certainly not a "welcome back in" sign. This episode Laura breaks down the fundamentals of how to approach forgiving. And how when done too quickly, forgiveness can actually wind up holding us back in a place of resentment. Forgiveness isn't for them, it's for us.
