Everybody has
had someone who has "done them
wrong." When someone hurts us,
we want to hurt them back. We
live
with anger and thoughts of revenge.
We want to see them suffer. We
want them to feel what we have felt.
We want them to know they can't get
away with what they did. But
they did get
away if your anger keeps you stuck
in the situation. When the
table turns, we make mistakes, we
create pain for others, and we
cannot understand why they do not or
cannot forgive us. Perhaps it
is because there is someone we need
to forgive. Forgiveness frees
us from the pain of the past and
moves us beyond our mistakes in the
future. What you give you get.
When you forgive. forgiveness
is there for you if you need it.
