Forgiveness: The only Option

I know the hurt is too much, difficult to bear it, can’t even imagine it happened to you or he/she did that to you. They did not even say sorry or they do not even know they hurt you and they are out there walking freely and enjoying themselves, but you are here, hurting, tears every day, crying yourself to sleep, hoping tomorrow will be a better day and the pain would be gone. Just to wake up and still feel the hard stone inside you heart till your throat chocking you up. It never went away, it never left, in fact it has now grown big and deep and makes it even harder to get rid of.

It does not have to be like this, you do not have to carry a stone in your heart. You do not have to feel that pain inside anymore. You should not be stopped from smiling every day and enjoying life because you are sad and feel hurt. You do not have to fight within yourself whether to quit or even kill yourself or just pack and go. You do not have to leave, you can stay and make it work. You don’t have to cry yourself to sleep. You don’t have to lose your heart.

Unforgiveness is killing us slowly. The deadliest weapon in a society is unforgiveness. When we choose not to forgive we have made a decision to carry the pain, sorrow, hurt, loss inside our hearts till the day we decide to forgive. That is us carrying a ticking time bomb inside of us. And you wonder why we are stressed and depressed and later commit suicide.

Forgiveness is a choice not an option, a command and not a suggestion. 

We have to forgive every day of our lives, forgiveness is not forgetting but it is letting go of the mistake, hurt, pain, etc. and choosing to replace it with joy, happiness, positivity.

Jesus Christ said unless you forgive each other, the Lord will not forgive you, so you must forgive. No matter what choose this day to forgive, choose this day how you want to live the rest of your life, either in joy or sorrow. Choose today Jesus.

When you forgive, you don't change the past but you change the future
