Little Gem from Carrma
Okay so there's this theory that I've been thinking about. People are going to mess up and disappoint you and hurt you. It's really inevitable to be honest. Even if they try as hard as they can, they'll probably still unintentionally do something to upset you. It's in human nature. Because none of us are perfect or even close to it. Thats why forgiveness is such a major theme in Christianity. I think that relationships with people aren't about who is going to treat you right or who isn't, it's about learning. Because when people hurt you, there's always a lesson behind it. And I think that the more forgiveness that you're willing to give the easier it is to get through life. It's harder for things to hurt you when you're forgiving. And people have made it seem like a weakness when really, accepting the bad and still loving someone is a really strong thing to do. Forgiveness is saying "you messed up and you hurt me, but I'm still here for you." Forgiveness allows people to grow and see the error of their ways and possibly make better choices. 😄

I totally agree.
ReplyDeleteForgiveness is freedom. Holding on to hurt while cause more hurt. Let it go. Understandably it might be harder or take longer based on the situation, but it's imperative that you do it. Forgiveness is more for you than them.
