Cry. Forgive. Learn. Move on. Let your tears water the seeds
of your future happiness.

I stumbled upon these quotes today. I read them once. I read them twice. I read them three times. Then I stopped. I thought back on some times in my life that were
quite ‘difficult’ (for lack of a better word). I'm a Christian, but I'm a sinner saved by grace.
On one end of the spectrum, there are some ‘things’ (for
lack of a better word) I’ve struggled with letting go. I’ll never forget. I’ll never understand. I’ll never be ‘unhurt’. I can’t fix it. Forgive, yes.
Forget, no. Whether just or unjust,
no matter how deep the pain, no matter how my heart was broken. There’s the height of my love. The width of my love. The length of my love. To forgive.
To let it go...
Then there’s the other end of the spectrum. I fully and sadly with pain admit my guilt. I’ve hurt others. I’ve been at fault. I’ve been to blame. I’ve been stupid. I’ve handled things poorly. I’ve said wrong things. I’ve done wrong things. I’ve been responsible for many heart aches. I sincerely feel a need to know. To understand. To explain.
To learn. To be forgiven. To let it go...
Then there’s the reality of life. Mistakes.
Regrets. Failures. Disagreements.
Confusions. Disappointments. Frustrations. Misunderstandings. The list goes on. There’s been too much time, too much trouble,
too much life. Admit it. Accept it. Think on it.
Learn from it. Turn from it. Move on.
To let it go...
Then there’s the reality of life. Contentment.
Peace. Encouragement. Comfort. Blessings. Happiness. Joy. Togetherness. Love.
Embrace it...
The Word of God:
Most important of all, continue to show deep
love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8 NLT
“If you forgive those who sin against you,
your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you
refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins. Matthew 6:14-15 NLT
