So I am in another situation where I am having to find the inner strength to forgive someone for hurting me.
This is when I turn to my faith. We are taught that God forgives us for our sins. I hope so. No one is perfect. We all have times in our life when we ourselves need forgiveness.
My Godmother taught me a Bible passage:
Matthew 18:21-23
The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant
21 Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” 22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times.
23 “Therefore the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants.
So, I will work on forgiving this person. It is freeing to do so. It is healing to do so. People makes mistakes. I just need the strength to actually forgive him now. I keep praying for the Holy Spirit to guide me on this journey. Things take time.
