Forgiveness is an act of judgment that acknowledges a wrong has occurred, not pretending the offense didn't happen. It differs from reconciliation, which may not always be possible or appropriate depending on the severity of the offense. Interestingly, small everyday slights can sometimes be harder to let go of than major offenses, as we tend to collect and nurture these minor hurts. The hardest person to forgive is often yourself, due to hindsight bias and judging past actions by current standards. When we carry unforgiveness, we cannot fully enjoy the banquet of blessings God has prepared for us.
