Forgiveness Without Access | Real Life Coach by PeyHire

CHAPTER 1 OF 10

Four Different Decisions

Let's Talk About It

Forgiveness, reconciliation, trust, and access are separate decisions. You may release a wish for revenge without restoring a relationship. Trust concerns evidence; access concerns current participation. Separating these decisions prevents one spiritual or emotional choice from automatically reopening every door.

Guided Activity

Put the Idea to Work

Create four columns and record your current position in each.

What does forgiveness mean to you?Is reconciliation being considered?What evidence supports trust?What access is appropriate now?Which decision has been confused with another?

Affirmation for this resource

Scripture Reflection

Romans 12:18 (NIV) · Peace includes doing what is within your control; it does not demand unsafe closeness.
