forgive

Last night I had a dream that my dear friend died. I was crying in my sleep. I was at the service and I couldn’t walk in. I couldn’t face the fact that I didn’t forgive them aloud and say good-bye.

I don’t use the term “friend” lightly when it comes to this particular person. This person has been there for me through so much. We have been there for each other. This person did something to me that I felt was disloyal and it really made me turn completely away. They have been saying sorry and reaching out, but I still haven’t replied. It’s normally not like me to not just forgive especially when I know in my heart this was a mistake they made. Although I’ve forgiven them in my heart, I didn’t acknowledge or let them know it was ok. I’m the kind of friend that when I forgive you, we can start off like nothing ever happened. We will laugh and it will be totally authentic. It’s funny how you can change without even knowing it. This is why it’s important to pray and reflect daily. I was just trying to protect myself. I changed the person I was in fear of being hurt. That is not who I am.

It’s ok to forgive and forget. You might not think its easy to do, but I’m almost positive you’ve done it with someone you loved once before. Forgive them especially if you know their core, their spirit, their soul is good. We all make mistakes. We sometimes make others suffer for the wrong of peoples past mistakes, the people that really didn’t deserve to be in our lives. Still, we don’t need to judge them either.

Don’t miss out on saying “it’s ok I forgive you” to someone you love in person. How would you feel if you never got to see them again…you never got to tell them don’t worry I’ll always…love you.
