It's been said that forgiveness is not for the other person, but for you. There is definite power in learning to let things go. The weight that is lifted off of your soul is unexplainable. It's like the feeling you get when you make up in the morning and take a deep breathe as you are thankful for another day. Holding on to Ill feelings and emotions is not good for you. It can actually make you very sick. It's important to remember that forgiveness is the most important step you must take in order to heal. My daughter and I had a conversation the other day and she asked me what was the difference between forgiving and forgetting and how do you accomplish that? I told her forgiveness is never for the other person. I also explained that you can forgive someone, but don't forget the lesson that was learned from the experience. We are all human beings and are bound to make mistakes and that is ok, but to be able to forgive someone wholeheartedly is a wonderful thing. It is not easy, but it is the first step in the healing process, so that you can move forward with your life and not be bound by the emotions and feelings attached to the situation. GOD is a forgiving and merciful God, so if He can forgive you for your faults and imperfections, how can you not forgive the next person. In life we will make mistakes, but you have to be willing to forgive and move forward, and learn and be better. It's a process that starts from within.
Until we meet again... Peace and Blessings.
