forgiveness-and-letting-go

To forgive, we may need to open our minds to a fuller exploration of the context in which the events occurred, and feel compassion for the circumstances and everyone involved, starting with ourselves.

But if you forgive someone for something they did to you, it doesn__ mean you agree with what they did or believe it was right. Forgiving that person means you have chosen not to dwell on the matter anymore; you have moved on with your life.

I don't think it is ever too late to seek forgiveness and rewrite your future.

...if a person remains in a state of unforgiveness the Spirit of the Lord will allow tormentors to enter him. That's what Christ told Peter when the disciple asked, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?" (Matt. 18:21).

I have only ever known Guilt to have one weakness, one not easily given and not easily found: Forgiveness...In truth, Guilt__ strength lies not in the failure of others to grant us forgiveness, but in our failure to forgive ourselves.

Bowing His head, this lover of my soul bleed for that last time glorified in the death of my sins; alive evermore in the loving forgiveness of one like me.
