In the past, I may not have had the strength to forgive, because I gave away chances to those who never deserved my grace. With all of the times that I was disrespected, violated and abused by another, I am at a point in my life where I now stand firm in my boundaries. There's always talk about, “do not wish harm on your enemies,” but I actively pray that the wicked face the consequences of their deeds.
I do not carry the weight of their heinous crimes. Absolution comes from God alone.
I feel as though I've been digging up the grave of someone who was buried alive. I looked for evidence of their existence, but I realized that I may be searching in the wrong places for them. I discovered someone with a strong resemblance on one of my recent quests: I felt familiarity in their presence, but sensed something different, something changed. In the process of salvaging what remains, I learned that the person I originally looked for longer exists.
This individual is Divinely protected. May they now Thrive in Peace.
Returning to some of these former spaces has helped me remember the confusion of being hurt without reason or direction. I actively mourn the person that I mindlessly abandoned back then. I still carry the weight of that pain, but the burden becomes less with every effort to exercise patience and compassion. I aim to heal the relationship I have with myself, so that I come out a stronger person.
Forgiveness is a process that frees us from continued Suffering.
