Forgiving without an apology - is the greatest gift you can...or shall I say, we can give ourselves.
It seems life has a way of throwing us into situations where this handy tool must be used time and time again - and we are better for it.
I have some very personal situations in my life that have caused some deep pain for not only myself but others who are very dear to me...we've all had our turn with sleepless nights, upset stomachs, hurt, confusion, brokenness...but one situation in particular has really caused some deep soul searching. To ignore it, is foolish. To act out in anger, foolish. The only solution has been to pray about it. There is nothing too big for God. So with each action - we give it to God and forgive. We love, we keep pressing forward trusting He has it all in control. What we don't do is get so wrapped up in it that we lose our peace.
Today if you have something troubling you I encourage you to let go of it, put it in God's hands and forgive the offender. You need peace in your life, just as I do. Don't go around gossiping about it - take it to the Lord, your hurt is safe with Him. In doing so, you will become stronger.
Each day is a gift and a new chance to begin fresh...#startingover15
Here's to forgiveness!! May we all freely give and freely receive!!
