Forgiving

There are many times throughout this lifetime

Where we find ourselves having to forgive someone

Or perhaps even searching for forgiveness for our mistakes

Forgiveness isn't always easy, but it is very satisfying

After all none of us are perfect...and we do make mistakes

If we just stopped to think of how those mistakes affected others

But then again we don't always look at the practical side of things

I sit here thinking of the days gone by...and some of the mistakes I've made

How those mistakes...no matter how big or small...affected others

I also think about what I could have done differently so as not to hurt anyone

These decisions are never easy ones to make...so all that is left is forgiveness

We forgive others for mistakes they have made...and hope they can do the same

Forgiving is one of the most difficult things to do...making mistakes seems to come easy

It often takes a very big person to forgive someone else for mistakes they've made

In giving forgiveness...a weight is often lifted from ones shoulders

We realise most times that the mistake...when thought about wasn't as big as it seemed

Forgiveness is a tool we are all given...it is up to us to use it...and use it honestly

If we say we forgive something we must mean it...as so often many of us say we forgive but don't

To forgive someone is a healing process in our soul that can make a bad situation go away

I'm not saying we have to forgive everything but...if we think of how rewarding it is

Then maybe we can forgive a lot more and a lot easier than we do now

Or perhaps we can learn how not to make the same mistake over again

Only you can take control of the mistakes you make...and whether to forgive others or not
