The act of forgiving must be separated from the restoration of fellowship. Forgiveness is unconditional, a commandment of love regardless of the pain. It is not to seek to avenge wrong done. Restoration of fellowship with a person is hinged on repentance I.e changed behaviour.
Many are either living under guilt of not forgiving because it is not practical to 're open their lives to the abuser seeing the damage he caused. Some then 're open their lives prematurely and not only does the damage continue but it enables the person with the character defect.
The fact that I have placed myself out of close proximity to a person does not mean I have not forgiven that person as also the fact that I am found in the company of a person does not confirm genuine love. Many hide hatred in their hearts with lying lips back stabbing "friends."
People should know the definition of forgiveness which is a decision not to avenge wrong done, to harbour no ill-will towards that person but have peace in your heart towards him. This also means one prays and does good as one find the opportunity too. Friendship has its rules
