When we hang onto old wounds, they can be an obstacle to peace. It is easier to live in peace when we can forgive.
When we forgive others, we are not saying that their actions didn’t harm us or disturb us. It is not as if the event didn’t happen. We are saying that the event was in the past and we choose not to carry it event into the future. We let go of it.
When we forgive, we are not doing it for the other person; we are doing it for ourselves. When we carry baggage from the past, we are impairing our ability to live in the present.
Today, can you think of someone you found it hard to forgive? What would it take for you to decide that you will forgive them and let go of the past?
