I've had so many people that have hurt me. They call me a freak, just come up and judge me, and don't even seem to care about what they've done. I'm sure a few others have gone through this too. But did you ever have the feeling like, years down the line, where you look back and ever ask yourself if they want forgiveness or if they're thinking and realizing what they've done to you was wrong or do you believe that they will never care?
Do you believe that they will never learn?
Forgiveness...
It's something that most of us can only seek but it takes true heart to forgive someone whose done something so devastating in your life and, as they turn away, you can see not even a hint of sorrow in their eyes. Not to mention, I've been blamed for things that was their fault not mine! But this isn't about "his fault/her fault" and "he did this/she did that".
You see when you forgive, you don't look back on what they've done. You no longer blame them for all those actions and burdens that have implanted in your heart. You look pass that and forgive them, even if they will never understand or care for your forgiveness. However, it's difficult to do this and, even though you try you just can't seem to forgive. But you're only proving that you're just as weak as the person hurting you was. They may not deserve forgiveness, yes. However, you can't dwell in the past and always look back because it'll only slow you down. You see, being able to forgive someone completely is not just a gift and a sacrifice you have to make but a privelege that you so yearn to pocess.
I may not be able to forgive them right now but I know I'll have to someday in order to completely move on. And, the more I try to forget about it the more I remember all their faults that they've caused and all the mistakes and things I've said that I could've done differently. But who am I to judge? Who I am to accuse someone of their mistakes when I've committed a long list of faults myself? Some people claim to truly forgive the fool that's hurt them but how many of us have truly forgiven the ones that don't deserve forgiveness. How many of us have truly looked within our hearts and said truthfully, "I forgive you."
