"Do not judge, and you will not be judged.do not condemn,and you will not be condemned.forgive,and you will be forgiven(Like 6:37)"
How do you begin to forgive someone who hurt you?do you begin sifting through your pain to find the one grain of rationale that could excuse the person's behavior?
The truth is that forgiveness has nothing to do with who is right or wrong.Forgiveness is a free agent.it is not attached to reason or agreement or even understanding.it is however, attached to wholeness and to your healing of liberation.
Unforgiven is a prison,it slams the door on new beginning and entrenches you in your present pains.it chains the heart and stops it from beating.it suffocate joy and paralyzes your abilities to move on. Unforgiveness is the cancer of the soul.it slowing eats away the marrow of your existence and impairs your judgement, your personality and your ability to love again
The desire to hurt the person who hurts you can be overwhelming. We become jealous of their joy, wanting them to feel the torture we think they also deserve. I.e you can be like" how can she act as though nothing ever happened? We as ourselves.it is not fair!is there no Justice?"
Yes, there is Justice. But it only comes only after we have released our offenders into the hands of the one who is in position to judge.only God knows both the sides of the stories. He knows the deficiencies of both parties. The fears,past wounds, generational conditioning, weakness,the characters.
Only God knows the hidden motives and the unspoken regrets of the one who hurts you,the assumptions we make usually do more damage to the truth.
Example:
"He never really cared about me"
He doesn't even know how much he hurts me"
"How could he be so cold?"
Our imaginations can be unmerciful,trust me,it's never what you think.your Guesses will always be more cruel than the reality of what really transpired, adding unnecessary injury to insult.
You need to let it go. You need to forgive. Not for his sake but for yours. It's Time to redirect your focus and move on.And you won't be able to do that if you continue to nurse and rehearse your anger,the many wrongs done against you.
If you can't forgive for your own sake, forgive for God's sake,he needs your hands open in order to bless you.
Forgive because you need to be forgiven.how can you expect what you are unable to give yourself? forgive because you are not alone,we have all been there.
Forgive and move on.
