The Key To Forgiveness

The Key To Forgiveness 

Yesterday I wrote that you can't hold a grudge because it worked out for your good.

This was about forgiveness, and yet so many people can't or won't get this message. They are so angry, they want revenge, and all that hatred is eating them up inside. I saw this first hand with my grandmother and then with my ex-mother-in-law. The hatred they carried with them lasted for years. My grandmother carried it with her to her grave. 

I know this feeling, as I carried this hatred with me for years as well. This hatred was for my rapist, I hated him so much and I thought about how to get revenge every day. I wanted revenge so bad, I wanted him to hurt like I hurt. I wanted to punish him for what he did to me. I couldn't see anything else because that anger fueled my life for years. So much so that I turned to drugs and alcohol to ease my pain. 

Years later while I was driving my Mustang GT down the street. My tee tops were off, it was a beautiful day out, and I was feeling myself that day. I had the music going and I was in an incredibly good mood, it was a perfect day...until I saw him. He was walking out of a store, and he was with someone, laughing. At that moment my whole demeanor changed. I became angry, I felt the hatred rise in me, so much so that it took all I had not to step on the gas and run him over, and not just once. 

As I sat there contemplating how I was going to run him over, I realized that "this" was only affecting me. He was obviously out, living his life, not thinking about me or what he did to me. No, only I was suffering over and over again. I was taking poison and hoping he would die but it was just killing me. It was at that moment I realized that I had to forgive him. Not for him but for me. I was not saying what he did was okay, I was saying you are never going to hold that power over me again. I will not allow you space in my head or my life.

This was now between him and God, or him and karma but I was done. My forgiveness for him, set me free. I no longer had the anger or the hatred in me. I was at peace because I forgave. I couldn't hold this grudge anymore, it taught me about letting go and learning what that meant. 

So today my friends I am here to tell you forgiveness is not for them, it is for you. 

Set yourself free by forgiving. Now don't get this twisted I am not saying you have to be in their presence or that you allow them access to you. I am saying forgive them and move on with peace. Trust and believe karma is real and one day it will catch up to them but it's not on you anymore.

This my friends is the key to forgiveness, try it today, to be the change you want to see.
