Reconciliation

Forgiveness does not equal reconciliation. Just because you forgive does not mean your reconciled. Forgiveness is the first step. You can't reconcile a relationship until you first forgive. Forgiveness is the prerequisite to reconciliation. It is important to be reconciled in the cycle of life. There is no closure in forgiving without reconciling. Sometimes it's best not to reconcile with the other person, but you can still reconcile with yourself about the situation and the circumstances for which you forgave.
