Forgiveness

The saying “unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to get sick” rings true as we often hold onto actions, people, and words that have hurt us. We all have had a period in our lives when we held people in our hearts and opened ourselves to reliving that pain. My heart for this blog is to help free you from the snare of grudges. I know firsthand the effects it can have on your well-being and ability to live freely.

Personally, I have dealt with the struggle of forgiving others especially when they are in my environment, and have to see them often. It felt like a knife cutting into a stitched wound that was trying to heal each meeting. It felt like I was being mocked each time and that is the thing about grudges it makes you see, think, and hear things from a distorted point of view. Do not get me wrong I am not saying you have to allow the perpetrator in your space or life again. 

Forgiveness is for you and not the other person. I believe in releasing people with love and never giving them access again. Forgiveness allows you to clear the apartment of your heart, mind, and soul while making room for yourself and new friendships, relationships, and partnerships. I sincerely hope this blog has touched your heart and inspired you to make room in it for more. Realize your strength and choose to forgive.
