THE DAY I LEARNED TO FORGIVE

The day that I learned to FORGIVE was the biggest step to allow my own self to heal. After a couple years that went by walking in on my X husband and my child hood friend in my own house making out. God had been working on my heart to reach out to her and forgive her for everything that took place that day.  I stepped out in FAITH also humbling myself to even do so. During those years I did not forgive her I realized I was only hurting my own self being stuck in bondage. Dealing with such hate and bitterness in my own heart. Also being so lost within myself to the point I wanted answers and did not understand WHY. Bringing myself up to the day I reached out to say, I FORGIVE YOU. I also came to realization that I didn’t need answers but to except what happened and let it go. The more I harped on it the more I wouldn’t be able to get the right healing that I needed in my heart to forgive her. I am so glad that I finally put all to the side and called her to extend grace and mercy. Since that day I have felt so much better and can not believe how much weight was actually lifted off my shoulders. It is vital to find forgiveness in your heart to someone that has hurt you. Not for that person but for YOU! I have been able to move on in life and got past the most biggest mountain that I had faced dealing with something that I never in my life thought would of happened to me. I know that it isn’t easy to forgive someone who has hurt you. It took me a lot of maturing in my FAITH and in my emotions to get to that point to forgive her and at times it doesn’t happen over night but if there is anyone in your life that you need to forgive. I pray that one day you will find the heart to forgive not for the person that hurt you but for your sake to be able to continue to be set free from unforgiveness that is holding you back to reach the fullest potential that GOD has created you to be.
