I recently apologized to an old friend for a wrong I committed many years ago. We had not spoken for many years and lost touch. I apologized, not so much for my benefit, rather it was the right thing to do for my friend given that I had an opportunity to do so. I honestly did not expect a response, but when I received one I realized that I was forgiven. I’ve experienced the liberating feeling of forgiving others many times, but I was not prepared for the indescribable feeling of being forgiven. The moral of the story is that the power of forgiveness is much larger than we realize.

This has been so hard to do especially when the other person insists they didn’t do anything wrong. Resentment has been a killer and now I am ready to live!!!!!

I’d love to know your secret, because, I too have someone (my son) who NEVER does anything wrong. We can’t even speak anymore.

Forgiving frees YOU from the other person. Many feel this hard to do because they view forgiveness from an ego level, and some acts that we need to forgive are devastating. Forgive anyway, it’s the best thing you could ever do because it releases an energetic bond which ruins your life. You have the infinite power to let go in any circumstance.
Thanks for sharing!

Forgiving someone doesn’t make you weak…It actually makes you stronger, b/c you are allowing yourself to let go of the Resentment…Until/ unless u forgive that Person you’re the one that is being held a Prisoner of not letting go of the past!

Forgiveness has NOTHING to do with the other person, it is ONLY in your mind.

I am forgiving…it is hard and it hurts…but I feel better each day. I am a mother. I am described by my child as her ‘egg donor’ meant in the most negative way possible.
But as I forgive, I gain strength and I gain God and I gain Love…and it is beautiful!

sorry for your pain as I know it all too well. I am going through the same thing with my teenage son and it has been a pain in my heart like no other

Resentment is not sparing yourself from the pain, treading the beaten track, giving little chance for moving forward…Who suffers the crime is YOU, not others…

Forgiveness is the most difficult thing we can do in many circumstances. But when we realize that we are the ones who are suffering, who are reliving the pain of that moment or event, it is then that we must let go of the past, and forgive. Forgiveness does not excuse the behavior of others, it releases us from their grasp. Forgiveness says ” You hurt me, but I have let it go, because in order for me to move on, to be the best I can be, I must let it go, and move on.” When we do this we are stronger than before, we are free from the past, and we are ready to realize our true potential. Forgive today not for someone else but for yourself.

This helps me,For 45 years of my life, I’ve had resentment of the woman who raised me, she passed away 3 years ago, and still haven’t gotten over it, this poem has helped.

thank you…this really helps me. Resentments are like sand in your eyes. If they stay in your eyes you cannot see the view comfortably and see more beautiful views around you.

The only boomarang in spirit we never see coming when we throw it and act surprised when it smacks us in the head on it’s return back! And we have the nerve to say – I DIDN’T SEE THAT COMING! But we do. We’re crazy. And even if we don’t believe in karma – the law of attraction – magnetism – whatever – the truth is the truth – I hate brussel sprouts. And forgiveness is for me, it lets me off the hook so I can get on with my life. What others do with it is fine. I have no control over that. This is a wonderful site. I hope people had a wonderful weekend. And if you haven’t got something nice to say about someone – come sit next to me!

Everyone deserves forgiveness and no one should hang on to bad things they have experienced. We all hurt others and none of us are perfect. Forgetting….well it can take time to rebuild trust again.
