We've heard it a lot of times before. We have been told we need to forgive. But for people that have been wronged, it's hard t forgive someone who has hurt you. Often times, what we have in our head is that the person who wronged us might just easily get off. And we don't want them to get away with what they did to us. When people wrong us, we want to get even so that they will also feel the hurt that they have caused us. That's primarily the reason why we find it so hard to forgive.
But what we have to remember is that forgiveness is not about the person who wronged you but yourself. While you are tormenting yourself with what he has done to you, the other person is probably thinking of other things and enjoying his life. But there is a possibility as well that he is feeling guilty because of what he has done to you.
When the person who hurt us might be suffering themselves because they might have gotten hurt with what they have done to us as well. In situations like these, we feel good thinking that they deserve it in the first place. But what we don't realize is that that doesn't solve anything. You're just giving the person power over your life if you hold on to the bitterness you feel because of what that person has done to you. In the process, you're actually making yourself a slave to your past.
It may hurt but you have to try and let go. And to let go, you have to learn to forgive that person first. If you move on, you will be able to enjoy your life much better. If you forgive someone, it doesn't mean that you condone what he has done. It simply means that you are going to leave everything in the hands of God. And that simply means he will have something coming for him. You just have to go on with your life and begin healing from the hurt you've felt.
If you hold on to your anger, you will tend to live your life based on your anger and you will also tend to make every decision you make based on that anger. If this is what's going to happen, your wound will never heal. If you are angry and bitter for a long time, it will be extremely difficult for you to turn around.
It's not your fault when someone does you wrong. You cannot control other people's action. But you can definitely control yours and your reactions and on how you're going to live your life after you've been hurt. Forgiveness is a powerful tool for you to heal and easily move on with your life after you've been hurt. In life, you have to keep moving forward.
