Teaching
A forgiving heart can still insist that wrong action be seen clearly and corrected properly.
Meaning
Forgiveness becomes weak when it denies truth. Healthy forgiveness releases poison from the heart while still honoring justice, learning, and boundaries.
Practical Application
When wronged, do not choose between bitterness and denial. Release resentment inwardly, but speak the issue clearly and keep the boundary that wisdom requires.
