Hello, beautiful ladies and gentlemen. Happy new week; it feels good to be here again. Thank you for stopping by my blog today. For the question of the day, which says.
If forgiveness, especially for those who are able to let go of past grudges, is the invitation to reflect upon. Do we always have to forgive? Why forgive someone who doesn't deserve forgiveness? Should we always forgive?
For the sake of my peace, I have to let go and forgive. Let me share with you my little secret that no one knows about till date. This is my first time opening up about this particular issue.
So while growing up, my mom sent me to go and buy sugar. The reason why I still remember clearly what happened to me that day is because I was a child, and you know children don't easily forget things. So back to my story. I went to get the sugar; it was an elderly man. You know that kind of shop that is joined with the room, right? It was that type, so the man asked me to come in and get the sugar .
As the child that I was at that time, I went in innocently to get the sugar. Only for this man to force himself on me. And told me not to tell anybody if not he could come in the night and kill me. I was around age 10 to 12 I didn't want to die. So I didn't tell anyone, not even my mom.
I was afraid 馃槦 to tell anyone. Anytime I see that man, it goes from one insult to another in my heart. And I have been praying that if he is still doing that to other innocent girls, may God expose him someday. I'm married now with two kids, but anytime I travel home to see my people, and I see him, I feel some kind of pain in my heart. And that is because I haven't forgiven him. So at a point I told myself that I have to forgive these man. Not because he deserves my forgiveness but for the sake of my peace of mind.
I have forgiven him. And I made that decision earlier this year. And just a month ago one of my sibling called to inform me that. That same man raped a girl of 5 years and was caught in the act and has been sent to prison. Thank God I forgive him. Let God be the judge now. Thank you for reading my story.
