FORGIVENESS

Forgiveness is really a letting go of the past. It is a decision to allow God to be God and not insist that things be our way.
Forgiveness is a deep and profound recognition of others wrongdoing against us. In forgiveness, we have to face our humanness and that of others and decide not to let sin or wrong doing win. True forgiveness lets go of the pain, releases the wrong doing, accepts the outcome, and goes on with life, better for the experience. This is why true forgiveness is so rare. Most of us don't fully forgive, and we become less for it, less loving, less giving and less caring.
