The sermon at church on Sunday was about forgiveness. Even if you’re not a religious person you could have learned something from this message. We all need to learn to forgive right? We’ve heard this before, but I have to tell you this is one that is tough right? Our sermon indicated you can actually forgive, but you don’t have to forget. Let’s get real you AREN’T going to forget and I understand that forgiving is a step toward healing, but again sometimes it’s hard to “let go.”
I can forgive past wrongs, this is a little easier and I’m working on some of those now. I have to admit when you do let go you do feel so much better about yourself and the ability to feel free.
What I struggle with is when you have people in your present life and they wrong you and even as you are thinking to forgive them they wrong you again. How many times do you have to forgive? When is enough truly enough? If you have someone with a problem and they won’t get help or won’t see their problems how do you continuously allow them to wrong you and forgive them? How strong must we be as one person?
Our preacher said, “The person that said time heals all wounds must have not been hurt very badly.” I agree. Time doesn’t make the hurt just go away. You have to allow forgiveness and let go of the past. You don’t have to forget. Memories are apart of who we are, it makes us who we become. I guess the people in our lives now are where I struggle.
It’s a tough call to say, “I forgive you.” More difficult sometimes than to say, “I’m sorry.” Is there someone you need to forgive? Is it time to let yourself “let go?” Life is short, think about how you can try to let go and forgive. It will set you free.
