This is amazing. I've been in a very similar process recently, including the part where I suddenly realized that my forgiveness is for me, not them. I even did a little ceremony in my garden one dark night, burning and then burying pages from an old journal. It was incredible to realize they don't owe me anything, and now I'm FREE!
Wow! This perspective on forgiveness is what I needed! I am for sure someone who recalls, revisits, rewinds and remembers things others have done to me. While that person has moved on and is living their life, I continue to let the hurt…hurt. I feel like this is exactly what I needed to hear and remember to make changes and improve my mental health moving forward. You have such a way of putting things into perspective for me and I thank you for what you do! Good luck on your road trip to Georgia…it’s HOT here…get ready!
This is EXACTLY what I needed today. I long for freedom from my anger and sense of injustice. Thank you for your willingness to always share what you've been walking and learning.
What a beautiful description of forgiveness. I don't know that I've heard someone admit that they "kind of hate forgiving," but ain't it the truth!?! Don't we all if we're really honest? We want the other person to FEEL the hurt they've inflicted on us. Maybe not to actually be hurt, but at least to fully realize what they've done to us. We don't think they DESERVE our forgiveness, ESPECIALLY when the other person doesn't seem sorry or sorry enough.
But... "It’s not your debt to claim." Thank you, as always, for your wise words!
This is good.❤️ lately I’ve been struggling with anger towards God/life more than people, but I feel it leaking onto my family a bit. Knowing God can take my anger even though he doesn’t need “forgiveness,” it’s a constant practice of release.
