“Forgiveness is both an event and a process. Making the four promises of forgiveness (found earlier in the book) is an event that knocks down a wall that stands between you and the person who has wronged you. Then a process begins. After you demolish an obstruction, you usually have to clear away debris and do repair work. The Bible calls this ‘reconciliation,’ a process involving a change of attitude that leads to a change in the relationship.”
