Colossians 3:13
And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.
Ephesians 4:32
"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
Matthew 6:14
A human reading
Forgiving an ex does not mean going back or justifying what happened. It means freeing yourself from the weight of the wound. It can happen in stages, with patience.
