Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting what happened.
I don’t forgive to let anyone off the hook.
I don’t forgive because what the person did was okay.
I don’t forgive to give the person a free pass.
I forgive them for my benefit.
I forgive to set myself free- free from anger and the need for revenge.
I forgive to give myself a gift.
Forgiving means that I choose to be happy.
Forgiving means that I can feel good about myself.
Forgiving means that I don’t have to think of the person anymore.
Forgiving means that I can walk away- make a clean break.
Forgiving means that I can sever ties with the pain and leave it behind.
Forgiving means I can move on.
Forgiving means that I can feel good about myself.
Forgiving means that I choose to be happy.
💕 and 💯 agree -to forgive is to release the heavy emotional and psychological load
Thank you so much, Harley! I hope this finds you well and in good spirits! <3
Forgiveness is a very powerful force.
It surely is! And very freeing.
Forgiveness is a very powerful force. I hope this comment goes through. For some reason, I thought I left it already. Sorry if it’s doubled.
It went through, Herb. No worries! 🙂
That is the truth! When I forgive I let go. That allows me to not have to think about the person. They aren’t spending any energy on me – no bully ever wakes up and thinks “hmm how could I have made that person’s life worse 5 -10- 15 years ago.” They have moved on so they don’t deserve your time or energy thinking about them.
Bingo! 👍👍👍
