Forgiveness is like a coat of paint – it is not necessarily going to cover in one application! Sometimes you must apply multiple layers to get that full final effect like painting over marks on a wall.

There are times it takes many coats of forgiveness to cover the pain or remorse that God does not want you to carry. It could take time.

You cannot apply all those coats at one time – it is a process – forgiveness is a process – healing is a process!
