4月26日 ForgivenessWhat does it mean to forgive? I have struggled with this question as of late. Have I really forgiven those who I need to? I have come to following conclusions. Forgiveness means letting go of your need for revenge. It also means that you choose to stop replaying the scenario in your mind, thus keeping your pain and anger fresh. You allow it to dissipate over time. When you truly wish the person who wronged you no harm or ill fate you have forgiven them.
The key (for me) was realizing what forgiveness isn't. It's ok if I don't want to converse with someone from my past. It is ok not to like them as well. If it serves me to exclude someone from my life that is perfectly acceptable, and it does not mean I have failed to forgive. As long as I can stop the growth of bitterness I have met my obligations. It is not my responsibility to pick someone up, or help them move past an issue. I am not responsible for the well being of anyone other than myself. It is time for me to let go of the guilt that has been holding me back. I have answered the call of forgiveness and now I am free. |
