Excerpt of a talk (YouTube video) by Dave Willis on forgiveness and rebuilding relationships. Willis defines forgiveness as giving up the right to punish, allowing natural consequences while restructuring interactions to enable trust to be rebuilt, and emphasizes choosing to believe the best in others. He cites Jimmy Evans: “trust is built in drops and lost in buckets.”

Chapters

Forgiveness also means. I'm not going to hold this over your head. I'm not going to. I'm not going to. I'm giving up the right to punish you. There might still be some natural consequences that have to take place. Some of those might come from God. Some of those might. Might happen. Just in terms of how, you know, how. We have to restructure a few things just for there to be an opportunity to rebuild trust. But ultimately, it's not my desire to hurt you. Even though I'm hurting, I'm not going to try to make you feel pain as well. I want to create a path of healing for both of us. And we're starting. I'm starting believing the best in you. Yeah. You know, Jimmy Evans, our ministry's founder, said trust is built in drops and lost in buckets.
