There’s a kind of peace that isn’t from God. It’s the peace of walls. Some of us learned survival by cutting people off. We tell ourselves, “I’m fine. I’ve already dealt with that.”  But distance is not deliverance. Forgiveness is not pretending the wound never happened. It’s choosing to stop carrying the judgment. Jesus forgave us while we were still wrong. He didn’t wait for an apology. If your father, Mother or anyone wounded you, you don’t need to re-enter chaos to heal.
