Are you in the season of forgiveness?
True forgiveness entails releasing yourself from being a prisoner of your past. This frees you from the constraints of past conditioning and the weight of mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical burden you carry. Forgiveness does not mean you condone anyone else’s choices. Forgiveness means you are giving yourself permission to no longer suffer as a result of someone else’s ill choices. Forgiveness means you give yourself permission to not let someone else’s harmful word or deed define you or your happiness. Forgiveness ultimately involves forgiving yourself for the unkind ways you treat/have treated yourself and/or others. Everyone has their own process when it comes to forgiveness. The key is to forgive completely.
