FORGIVENESS
"IT'S TOO HARD TO FORGIVE"
" BUT THEY REALLY HURT ME"
WHY SHOULD I FORGIVE THEM WHEN THEY DIDN'T EVEN SAY SORRY?"
I agree it is hard, but it's so worth it. I made a HUGE step this weekend. I carried a weight
around for over a year that i released this weekend. Conquered a fear of forgiving and being
in the same room as someone. It was so tough, and my anxiety was through the roof, but i
am happy i did it. And remember....forgiving doesn't always mean you let these people back
into your life. In fact sometimes you don't even have to tell them directly that you forgive
them, sometimes its solely between you and God. Forgiveness isn't about releasing the other
person from their faults, and the things they did to you,or saying "it's ok that you hurt me"
it's never ok to hurt someone. Forgiveness is about releasing the burden of carrying their
wrong doings around with you. It's kicking them outta the space they were renting
( RENT FREE BY THE WAY!) in your mind. Most of the time the person who was hurt
cares way more, and longer than the person who hurt you. They go on with life, and we get
held like a prisoner of their wrong doings. Forgiveness is taking our pain and giving it to God.
We can pray this prayer:
Father God I come before you humbly, and thankful for my blessings. Today is my day to
unload this junk I've been carrying with me. God here it is, all they have done
( which He already knows by the way) Lord please take it
from me, and release me from this pain, and constant though of hurt. Lord i right now forgive
( name of person) because i know i am forgiven of my wrong doings. Lord please heal me. In
Jesus's name. Amen. ♥
Sometimes it feels better when you go into detail with God about the wrong doings they have
done. It's a painful release at times, but in the end so worth it. I pray for each and every one
of you on your road to healing, and forgiveness.
