About This Quote

Forgiveness is the fruit of fellowship. This quote is interesting because it seems to contradict the idea that forgiveness cannot be achieved without a formal agreement, such as an apology. However, when you consider the context in which this quote was written, it may not be so contradictory. When someone has done something wrong to you, you have a right to be upset and upset doesn’t always mean that you will instantly forgive them.

Sometimes it takes time to cool off and let everything settle in your mind. Then you might want to forgive them, but for now you are still angry at them. But maybe once the anger has settled down, you realize that it wasn’t their fault and you can forgive them.

It’s like the difference between getting mad at someone who did something bad and getting mad at someone who did something bad because of what they did.
