Forgiveness
Forgiveness
24/Jun/08
Forgiveness can sometimes be just a change in
attitude. When I realized that my bitterness was
hurting me more than anyone else, I began to
search for a better way to view my situation.
God has used the troublesome people in my life as messengers, and His message to me was that I needed to get my own life together. I had been tolerating unacceptable behavior because I was unwilling to get the help that I needed, but eventually the message got through. I got into recovery. I don't deny all the past hurt, but I no longer carry the bitterness it brought. I am grateful for what I've learned and what I am still learning.
I won't allow old resentments to drag me down any longer. With God's help I'm building a better life day by day.
