Forgiveness is one of those things that you cannot touch or see but it is real. Forgiveness is one of those things that hopefully, begin to make everything ok again. If you have ever received it you know what a miracle it is. If you've given it, you know what a load lifted it can lift off your heart. It can repair relationships.
When you forgive someone it helps you, the forgiver. You will have more peace and joy in your life. Forgiveness is not a feeling, it is an actual action that may take some work and require a reminder from time to time. Something we tend to forget is that we also need to forgive ourselves.
Holding a grudge can cause bitterness to grow in your heart and it creates a pain that you carry with you know matter what you do or who you do it with. The pain that it brings keeps you tied to the past, you can't let it go, and it begins to dominate and control your life.
Forgiveness is a choice that we make. Make the choice to forgive yourself and others today. I did with a few people recently, and honestly... I am thankful that I did.
