Have you ever been hurt by someone? Something big or
something small?
Did the pain linger or the negative thought re-enter into
your mind?
Did that thought or feeling grow?
I have been hurt by someone.
I let the pain linger. I let the negative thought re-enter
into my mind over and over.
The negative thought became negative thoughts. They grew and
the pain deepened.
A once loved and treasured relationship quickly turned dark and
suffocating.
Heavy feelings of sadness, bitterness and resentment filled
my mind and heart.
This was not ME. This was not the person I desired to be.
The negative feelings stuck to me like glue, I couldn’t
separate myself from them...
Or so I thought.
After days, weeks, months, and (I am embarrassed to admit)
years of struggling I finally found
FORGIVENESS.
I will never forget the feelings of
Peace
Happiness
Freedom
Love
Light
Joy
that entered into my soul as I was able to fully let go of
the pain that I had been harboring.
The opportunity to forgive had been there all along, I had
just not found it yet.
