Happy Thursday to all, it's a cold and rainy day, now it is my 4th day of reflection I am happy that I'm progressing, and thank you for being there with me.
We forgive but we never forget, and the pain that cause it became the barrier. Giving forgiveness doesn't mean that we are okay, neither encouraging nor excusing offenses. We always have a second thought about forgiving a person who has caused us so much pain, but it's natural. We always go into a process of healing, we are only human, each time we thought about forgiving someone the pain that they inflict on us keeps coming back, and the feeling of forgiveness fade away. Sometimes we thought, "why do I forgive? he/she didn't even ask for it!" "he/she must do the first move, not me!"
In that way it hinders forgiveness by holding on to the grudge, thinking it will somehow punish the other person so we can feel righteous, hoping we will be protected from getting hurt again, believing that fairness and justice must be served since the other person was wrong. If we all think like this we never have peace and the more we hold on to the pain the more it would be difficult for us to move on and trust others.
Forgiveness can even lead to feelings of understanding, empathy, and compassion for the one who hurt you it doesn't mean forgetting or excusing the harm done to you or making up with the person who caused the harm. Forgiveness brings a kind of peace that helps you go on with life. Forgiving others allows us to overcome feelings of anger, bitterness, or revenge. In order for us to forgive we need also to keep in mind that forgiveness is something, we do for ourselves to eliminate emotional attachment to what happened.
Forgiveness may not always be easy, but think about God who forgives all our sins, He heals our spiritual wounds and bring the peace and love that only He can give.

Sometimes it isn't easy to forgive someone but we should do it. Not for the sake of the people around but for ourselves so we can have peace of mind. It enables us to move on and start something new and fresh.
But before forgiving others, we should forgive ourselves first. We can't fully forgive someone if we can't even do it in ourselves. Forgive before it's too late. Forgive to avoid regrets
