Forgiveness is a daily grind for many. We have to consciously make the effort to forgive some situations and people. It is exhausting but don’t grow weary. It will take time but eventually you will reap the rewards of peace in your heart without bitterness. Don’t just say the words, be genuine in your forgiveness. For some, we have to do this over & over & over again until we actually get it right. If it’s fake, it won’t make room and create peace in your heart. Don’t just go thru the motions – go thru the muck and do it, really do it.
We are created for love & kindness. All of us are. Some people don’t have a clue how to use that and choose to hurt others instead. Be an example, a lesson of positivity for them and forgive them. That doesn’t mean you invite them into your world and continue being their welcome mat. It just means that you accept them where they are, forgive them for their behaviors, and move along on your journey – choosing love over anger.
Be blessed and forgive today – even if it’s forgiving yourself for past mistakes. Forgive.
