Matthew 6:14
“If you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.”
Forgiveness is good for the soul.
It’s hard, because we feel like someone doesn’t deserve to be forgiven.
But then again, neither do we deserve to be forgiven.
It’s hard, because we’re hurt, and we have a right to be hurt. What was done to us is not okay, so we feel like it shouldn’t be excused.
But forgiveness is not excuse. Forgiveness doesn’t make the action okay. It just makes you okay.
Remy pointed me to a cool website called PostForgive.
You’ve probably seen PostSecret, the website and/or the books. It’s probably by that, but it’s healthier. It’s not about sharing secrets that you’ve never told anyone, it’s about publicly forgiving people you need to forgive.
