Ephesians 4:32
And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.
We ought to forgive always.... even when its a huge wound that was inflicted on us... we still must forgive.... forgiveness is always instant... however wisdom teaches us that trust must be earned... ie. if someone always abuse you and hurt you... you can always forgive but you wld be required to exercise wisdom on how you would relate with that person again... you cannot exercise the same level of trust after being betrayed... God always require us to forgive.... even if the wound is so great... becos if God can forgive someone like us... we can forgive anyone.... but GOd never once in the bible demands us to forget.... never once bible says forgive and forget... it only says forgive.... but after forgiving.... GOd can bring healing..... so that the reminder of the hurt and betrayal does not have the same pain on us... but healing takes time... we need to constantly forgive the abuser and betrayer or the unfaithful spouse or friend......... let GOd bring in the restoration and vindication at the right time... meanwhile trust Him and lift the wounds to Him for HE cares for you and wants to heal you....
Luke 4:18b
(Jesus said) He has sent Me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed.
