Forgiveness
Just because you have been victimized gives you no right to victimize those you identify as your "oppressors". To believe you can, makes you an oppressor.
Forgive as you have been forgiven by God. Jesus forgave from His cross as He bore the wrath of God against the sin of humanity, not just part, but the whole.
Forgiveness is not the response to someone saying, "Sorry." Forgiveness comes from that deep God-given realization, that conviction that causes you to see that your sin was more deadly that their offense and God met you with grace so that you might be an ambassador of grace...forgiveness greater than yourself...the gift of God in Christ Jesus.
