Forgiveness is about your commitment to move on from the wrong independent on the other person's action. It is more often an ongoing personal effort, and one you should always aim for after allowing space for appropriate anger. Reconcilliation is about the other person acknowledging the accusation of wrong. A confession of sorts. I'd suggest in the face of sincere apology this is always desirable to reconcile (turn the other cheek and what-not). Restoration is about returning to the person trust and its associated privildges. Not everyone deserves to be restored depending on what they've done. I would argue the true mark of contrition is an acceptance they may be forgiven but never restored (depending on the nature of offense, of course). |
