The greatest power you have over anyone who hurts you is the power of forgiveness. When you say “I forgive and no longer hold it against you” both sides are set free from negative bond that exists between you. We also free ourselves from the burden of being the “offended one”. As long as we don’t forgive those who’ve wounded us we take them with us or more worse we carry them like an albatross around our neck. One of our great temptations is to cling in anger to our enemies then define ourselves as being wounded by them. Forgiveness therefore not only liberates the other person, it liberates us 2! Its the way 2 true freedom. Now forgiveness doesn’t always mean forgetting. Though we forgive somebody the memory of what they did might stay with us a long time. We carry it in our emotion as a scar or even in our bodies as a physical sign. When we forgive our parents for there breakup, our kids 4 there lack of love, our spouses 4 there unfaithfulness in times of need! Forgiveness allow us 2 take back our power and not let the events embitter,limit,or destroy us. IS THERE SOMEONE YOU NEED 2 FORGIVE?
