There's a line between forgiveness and trust that's blurred. It's a gray area that allows all kinds of conditions, beliefs, and skullduggery. You can forgive someone, but can you trust them? Forgiving means that you break any spiritual hold they had on you, but trust is something the other person must build through their actions.
Every grievance has two conditions; opportunities for forgiveness and for trust. If someone forgives you and you do nothing to rebuild the damaged trust then it's probable that they will have to forgive you again. I guess that's why the Bible tells us to forgive 70 times 7 times!!
Walking away from hurtful or damaging behavior is very tough, so returning to it continues to break trust and a need to seek forgiveness.
Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices give us the opportunity to return after stumbling and receive understanding. Trust comes when we stop stumbling!!
