One of the life lessons that takes time and quite a bit of effort to learn is forgiveness.
If someone does us wrong, it's hard to pass the peace pipe, isn't it?
It's so much easier to feel the anger, spew the complaints, and rip the "enemy" to shreds.
But when we are done doing that, do we feel better?
Uh uh.
What I've found is that the act of forgiving is what brings peace to my heart.
Life whizzes by pretty quickly.
Why lose precious serenity by holding a grudge over something someone did to us?
It's not worth it. Peace in the heart is better.
HOW DO YOU FORGIVE SOMEONE WHO HAS DONE YOU WRONG?

"Peace in the heart is better." Amen! Yes, sometimes letting for of past hurt is hard, but it's always worth it - thank you for this lovely post, Susan!
Hugs to you!
That is something I am working on as we speak. I have to remind myself it does more damage to me then the other person.
I pray for them and also for myself. It brings me peace that way!
This was something I learned many years ago when an event tore me up with anger at someone. I finally learned that forgiveness is really for yourself not the other person. I am so much freer now then I use to be. Oh I still have moments that I'm still angry with a few people from my past, but I continue to work on letting it go.
hugs,

So true, sweet friend. By not forgiving, the only person you hurt is yourself. xo Laura
I think we all struggle with this at times. I recently read of a lady who was awaiting medical test results. The outcome could have been devastating. As she waited for the results, she came to terms with that she was right where she wanted to be in her life, she had told the people she loved how much they meant, and she had FORGIVEN all who had caused her pain. She ended up getting a good report BUT her lesson is a good one for all of us.
I forgive because it is the right thing to do, but I also vow never to be suckered again if possible.

Forgivness is a big thing.. God forgives us connstantly everyday. Because we continuouly sin.. Forgiving does not always have to mean that you have to continue to be around the person who did you wrong. But you must forgive.. He ask this of you.. with love dear friend. .. Janice
