Grudges / Forgiveness
How Forgiveness Free Us from Resentment
Build authentic connection in a world craving love
I recently asked myself a question that had been weighing heavily on my mind: “Is forgiveness ever truly out of reach?”
As you can imagine, the responses I received varied greatly. Some were steeped in bitterness, others in profound wisdom.
I never judged anyone for sharing their thoughts, no matter what they believed.
One thing I’ve learned is that you can’t predict how someone will react in a tough situation. A calm and forgiving person might get angry when tested, while a harsh person might show kindness.
I know it’s hard to let go of our grudges. Many of us struggle even with small annoyances.
I’ve often wondered if I could forgive people who’ve hurt me, especially when they’ve been really mean. But I still aim for forgiveness.
“To err is human; to forgive, divine.”
So, I wonder why so many people feel justified in holding onto grudges.
Doesn’t it make us prisoners of our own resentment?
Doesn’t it add more negativity to an already troubled world?
