many people do not realize the true reason to forgive.
when i forgive the people who have abused me the chains that have bound me to them and the pain they caused are severed.
forgiveness is NOT a feeling, nor is it inviting unsafe people to come closer and hurt us again. forgiveness is putting abusers into God's hands and letting God deal with them. it is accepting that this bad thing happened and that it cost me something. when i let go of what i think should happen to those who abused/hurt me i am set free. it is a process most of the time, seldom instant - but it is absolutely true. forgiveness frees me!
this is what i am experiencing irl.
