Someone has wronged you, then comes back later with a seemingly heartfelt apology. You choose to accept that apology... you forgive them. Can there still be consequences of the original wrong or would that mean that the forgiveness is not genuine.
Example: If you trusted someone with some personal information, and they did not keep that info to themselves. They violate a trust. Damage done. They apologize, you forgive. If you choose not to share with them again, did you not truly forgive?
Think of this in ways of "cheating" in a relationship, or gossip, or lying or stealing.
Can you forgive these violations of trust and still there be consequences?
