Gift of Forgiveness

To forgive is not to forget but a lift of heavy burdens from our heart and the hearts of others. It shows compassion and understanding. We choose to forgive; therefore, we care.

Transgressions happen because of the history of our experiences. Past traumas contribute to defining who we are which may lead into who we do not want to be, now, or in the future...

I think there is a lesson for us all, in that, if we don't deal with our life-traumas through therapies of sorts, we could cause irreparable damage to ourselves and others.

That's not an excuse or a hall pass, just a reminder that we all have stuff that anchors us down somewhat skewing our perceptions, clouding our futures as we move towards the future.

Forgiveness can set you free along an uplifting path. The shackles that bound you before will fade. Our outlooks do change with time should we forgive those who trespassed against us.
