It is only natural to want to have some kind of emotional moment where you forgive and then everything is wonderful from that point on. This is usually not the case. Even after you forgive someone your feelings of hurt, anger and resentment might come over you again. Forgiving someone is a process. Forgiving and healing take time - the greater the hurt, the greater the time. You have to choose forgiveness again and again.

When I forgive I only have to do it once.
