Can you live life without the "F" word? No you can't. What's the "F" word? Forgiveness is the "F" word. It is the necessary seasoning to have in your heart that brings a healthy balance and well- being in life. We, as human beings, need to release forgiveness to others and embrace forgiveness from others no matter the offense. Peel the Onion shares the transparent journey of forgiveness and communicates that it is not easy nor microwaveable. The process that took more time desired but Divinely required for right result. What is forgiveness really? Can it be done effectively and how do I know when it has taken place in my heart? Do I get a pass if the offense was just down right deplorable unthinkable? Can forgiveness still happen and the relationship not be restored? Is forgiveness authentic even if the memory is there?
