The Grand Revelation

People have, will, and always will do things that hurt or offend you. The key is to choose to forgive them.   It's not an emotional choice, although at times emotions can lead the way, it is a mental decision.   You must choose to walk the road of forgiveness.

When you hold onto the hurt or offense caused by someone else you allow them to hold control over you.  You allow them to dictate your emotions and far too often affect your response.

Forgiveness brings you freedom. Freedom to be who you were meant to be. Freedom to make choices and responses that are in no way tainted by others wrongs toward you. Freedom to be truly free.
