Mainly for my own records/reflexion:
From pastorlenny:
One big obstacle to forgiveness is the sense that somehow by forgiving the other person, we will be saying that what they did was OK -- or that we are now OK with it. But forgiveness is not an endorsement of the action that hurt us. It is a recognition that our unforgiveness doesn't undo that action -- and it even usurps God's position as the One who metes out justice.
