When people in your life have had the tendency to wound your soul, it’s probable that such behavior is one of habit because there is some unmended broken place in them. When you, with the power of God’s grace, forgive them, you open yourself to the Holy Spirit for healing. Being healed, you no longer have a bleeding wound, but a glorified scar.
Now, if you happen to find yourself in the orbit of the one who wounded you and they hit the place of the old wound, understand, it will hurt. You can bump an unwounded spot and there’s not much pain. Bump a scar with the same force and you will find it really hurts.
Being hurt in the same place doesn’t mean you haven’t forgiven. The healed scar has a memory. Don’t let the enemy condemn you into thinking you haven’t forgiven the past. Just forgive the present and consider the source of the new bruise.
Unhealed, wounded people tend to wound others much like a “fear-biter” dog will attacked even when there in no threat.
