Forgiveness

A word from the heart of God: Forgiveness. 

People say, “Just forgive them and you will feel better.” Personally, I’m not sure I agree with that. You don’t necessarily feel better when you forgive a person who hurt you, especially if it’s a deep wound. Forgiveness is a conscious, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment, anger, and vengeance toward someone who has wronged you. Forgiveness is more about you than the other person. It is a personal choice that aims to bring you peace of mind and emotional healing, rather than absolving the offender. The objective is to free yourself from holding onto anger and to move forward rather than live in the past. I guess the key is to move away from how you feel and make a choice that you know is good for you, even if it doesn’t feel great.

You are loved, Kris
