It has been said that time heals all wounds, but forgiveness is faster.
Note 2 self: Time may, in fact, heal all wounds but takes a long time.
We sometimes endure years of pain and suffering over situations and circumstances that we have chosen to keep in ours hearts. The person(s) who have offended us have gone on with their lives and do not carry those burdens.
When we forgive people, we release ourselves from the prison of that pain and suffering. We are essentially giving ourselves a gift. The gift allows us to move on with our lives and to not harbor ill feelings toward those who hurt us.
Forgiveness is our get-out-of- jail free card.
I chose forgiveness over time. Care to join me?
