Forgiveness is a constant attitude of choosing happiness over hurt.. acceptance over resistance.
It’s about acknowledging that we’re all mistaken sometimes, sometimes even the best of us do foolish things. But it doesn’t mean we are evil and unforgivable, or that we can’t be trusted ever again.
Know this.
Sit with it.
It might take time to forgive, because it takes strength to forgive.
Because when you forgive, you love with all your might. And when you love like this, a heavenly, healing light shines upon you.
This forgiveness.. true forgiveness brings you to a place where you can sincerely say, “Thank you for that experience,” and mean it with all your heart.
I’ve learnt this since my post Betrayal, I’ve learnt to forgive, it was the hardest thing I have had to do with both parties and it has given me peace in not disliking/hating her, with him, it was easier somehow, I just can’t hate him, I guess knowing the true living soul he is deep down makes it impossible to find it in me to hate him or even get angry, trust me though when I say, “God I want to hate him, confront him” but what good will that do?
The love I feel for him seems to always run deeper than any other feeling.
And I hate myself for that.
Maybe I’m just weak, or maybe I’m stronger because I can’t find it in my heart to hate him.
Wrong or right, I forgive both parties in their parts to play in hurting me to the depths of my soul.
Maybe I’m a foul for letting the light take over the darkness and choosing love and peace or anger and hate.
I guess only time will tell.
