Day 687

Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren, and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  Sometimes with forgiveness, I still struggle with this. I want to bring up their past against them, but true forgiveness is me promising I won't.  And I shouldn't.  They don't deserve it.  God doesn't do that to me everytime I sin again.  Another quote I like is, "To forgive is to set a prisoner free, and realize the prisoner was you."  A lot of times we don't realize how much of a hostage we are held when we DON'T forgive.  We hold on to things they build and build and we don't really realize how much they are affecting us, or holding us down, or eating at us from the inside.  We think we can just "let it go." When if we just forgive them, maybe not for their sake but for ours, we will be much better off.  That's all for today. Have a great one!
