Finding Forgiveness

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.
