Do you know WHY forgiveness is so important?

You’ve heard the saying “forgive and forget”. As we can all attest, it’s MUCH easier said, than done.

We can say we’ve forgiven someone and that we’ve ‘moved on’ without actually ever having truly let go.

Forgiving someone DOESN’T make the offense okay. But rather, it DOES free you.

When we don’t truly let go, we harbor resentment. It flows unconscious bitterness into our veins that aggressively ripple out into our other relationships.

Forgiveness DOESN’T minimize your feelings. Feelings are real and whatever it is you haven’t let go of, obviously cut you deep.

However, when you hold a grudge, it’s like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. It’s only hurting you. We start mirroring that bitter behavior.

Forgiveness is HARD. It’s one of THE hardest things, ESPECIALLY when someone doesn’t even ask for it, or recognize the wrong or offense.

Forgiveness is a PROCESS. You may have to forgive for the same offense MULTIPLE times.

We are to forgive, because we have already been forgiven.

How can you ever expect to be given forgiveness or second chances in life and from others if you haven’t learned to forgive?

When you have TRULY forgiven, you WILL feel freedom.

Don’t be a slave to un-forgiveness.
