STEP #2: CONFESS ANY HATRED YOU MAY HAVE

It is not wrong to hate what may have happened or caused your offense. However, it is what we do about that hate which will determine the outcome. Here are some considerations: 

• Projecting the hatred inwards, stuffing it down or harboring the grudge will wreak havoc in our health, our minds and our ability to function; ultimately leading to disease, depression and multiple other issues.
• Projecting the hatred outwardly will likely destroy our healthy relationships and wreak damage to our world around us including our personal and professional performance. Taking out hatred on the offender will never solve the issue. It will only increase our frustration and potentially bring harm to our future.

Deciding to hate the offense itself rather than the offender (the “sin instead of the sinner”) is the healthiest direction to take in the first stages of forgiveness. Simply make the shift in your heart and mind that you will despise the offense and release the offender.
