Forgiving somebody does not mean they get off the hook. It means you put them on God's hook. You trust the Lord to let Him deal with the infraction, the thing that was done against you. If we surrender the thing that hurts us, if we take the medicine and forgive that person willfully every day, even if you stamp your feet the first few times you say, "I forgive them" through clenched fists, through teeth that are gritted... It doesn't matter how you start the process, the key is to start.

Let's jump back into Genesis 33 for God's continuing beautiful picture of forgiveness and reconciliation between Esau and Jacob.
