Many people believe forgiveness is a feeling. Like they can tell they’ve forgiven someone when they feel good toward that person. No. Forgiveness is in action. You forgive someone when you give them love. That may mean confronting them, or meeting a need, or giving your time.

But that applies to pretty much ALL relationship aspects. We should have the tinglies at all times about everything or else leave.

The closest I ever heard was an anecdote about a holocaust survivor who became a priest publicly forgiving one of the soldiers that abused them. Not even sure if it was real... But it describes the same: first came the forgiving action, then the relief.

Exactly. Just as “Faith without works is dead,” forgiveness is in the actions we extend to the trespasser. A tingly feeling means nothing and helps no one grow.
