..."someone" will somehow be redeemed.
Why is it that God forgave us and keeps forgiving us everyday, yet it is so hard for us to forgive those we love the most?
I think it is because it hurts.
When I get my feelings hurt I don't want to get hurt again and somehow I think that if I don't forgive then I'm not giving that person a licence to hurt me again. It sounds so foolish but that's how I feel.
If I don't say "it's okay" then it will be less likely that I will put my guard down and let that person hurt me one more time.
But if I say "okay I forgive you" then my heart grows soft and willing then unexpectedly...hurt.
I guess I have an issue with hurt.
Or maybe with people whom I really care about hurting me.
Or maybe with people whom I really care about hurting me and then not even recognizing that they hurt me.
Or maybe I need to look at Jesus.
If "you" read this...it's a start.
