We know what God is like therefore imitate what he did, be a helper, a comforter, a forgiver of other people", he said.
In Enright's model the forgiver moves through four phases: uncovering anger (acknowledging the pain and exploring the injustice), deciding to forgive (exploring forgiveness and making a commitment to work toward forgiveness), working on forgiveness (refraining and developing empathy and compassion for the offender and hearing the pain), and the outcome (healing is experienced) (Freedman, Enright, & Knutson, 200.
It brings healing to the forgiver, not just the person being forgiven.
