It’s the hardest thing to give away
And the last thing on your mind today
It always goes to those who don’t deserve
It’s the opposite of how you feel
When the pain they caused is just too real
It takes everything you have just to say the word…
Forgiveness..

This song by Matthew West says it all when it comes to forgiveness. Forgiveness is a gift and a lots of time its given to the people who hurt you the most. Have you ever been forced to say I'm sorry, maybe by a parent or guardian, and you feel like you didn't do anything wrong? Or, have someone ever hurt you and you often have to brush it off? That is real forgiveness. I had been struggling for a while with a former friend. She hurt my best friend, emotionally and in turn it made me feel a deep anger towards her. How could you do this to someone so loyal? I had been putting off thinking about it, because I wanted to stay as open minded as possible. But I was still kind of mad. Yesterday, I went to church . The pastor was talking about forgiving people and I decided that I would forgive my former bestie. I prayed that little prayer the anger in my heart melted away like candle wax. Now I feel like I can move forward in my friendship with her. We will probably never be besties again, but at least we can still talk. Whenever you forgive someone it frees you in a way I can’t explain. I would encourage you to listen to the song by Matthew West, Forgiveness, and see if you agree. Letting go, makes you free. Forgive doesn't always mean that you don’t remember that moment but it means that you don’t dwell on it anymore… I encourage you to mend those relationships with those who hurt you, and practice the power of forgiveness.
