Life is constantly changing and so are people. Some for the good others for the bad, but never the less they do change. It is so hard to forgive people who have hurt you, even though we ourselves seek forgiveness when we make mistakes, yet it’s so hard to set aside our own heart ache and forgive the person who has caused us pain.
It’s even harder to give the person a chance for redemption, which is probably at this point out of the question. Especially if they have hurt us more then once. Maybe the person is sorry, maybe they have changed, but you’ll never know if you don’t forgive. Resentment only causes separation, the loss of time with that person, sometimes the loss if for a lifetime, maybe that person really is sorry.
Could you imagine hurting someone and later repenting for your mistake only to find that there was no forgiveness for you. Have you ever been sorry before? Were you forgiven? You’re not the same person you were before, you’re constantly evolving and changing.
Creating a new you every day. So won’t you allow others to do the same?
