Forgiving does not mean forgetting. There are people in our lives who are toxic. They will continue to hurt us over and over and we need to protect ourselves from that. But that doesn't mean we can't forgive them. When we can get to the point that we can wish them peace, we've reached a point of forgiveness. We have set them free, and in doing so, set ourselves free. They now longer have that power over us.
Everybody hurts. It's part of life. Don't miss the good stuff.
