Forgiveness
-Copyright 2016 Diana Rasmussen-
Forgiveness doesn’t mean that I accept what you did to me
Forgiveness means I let go of taking vengeance against you
Forgiveness means I trust my God to deal with you because He told me, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay.”
Forgiveness means I don’t have to think about you or what you did to me
Forgiveness means I am free from your prison of pain
Forgiveness means I can move on and go forward
Forgiveness frees me to be who God made me to be, regardless of what you do or don’t do
Forgiveness gives me the freedom to pray for you
Forgiveness let’s me be me
Forgiveness frees my Father in Heaven to forgive me
For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. – Matthew 6:14-15 NIV

Thank you for sharing this. Your words are so true but not always easy to walk out. I would add that forgiveness is an every day decision that has to be mindfully maintained.
Bless you!
