To Forgive

Forgiveness is something we do to release ourselves from a hurtful event that happened in our lives. My son was murdered at the age of sixteen. I stood in front of the man that changed our world that morning and read him a letter from my sister and one from me. I was lost in hurt and still lost in myself. I did till him I forgave him. Through my journey of healing I forgave him again. I was just waking up this morning. I woke up with this on my mind. To write this man a letter and let him know he is forgiven and to witness to him. So I guess that is what I will do. To truly forgive is to lay it at God’s feet and let Him handle it. Unforgiveness is a prison that will kill you and the ones around you.
