Forgiveness is important. I’m sure you already know this. I’m sure you also know that it is very hard to forgive. It is for me, at least. But I try to ask myself, “What would Jesus do?” This is very, very hard. I’m imperfect and sometimes it’s very hard to forgive. But I want to be the best version of myself. I want to be as much like Christ as possible—which is, unfortunately, easier said than done.
But second chances are important—and sometimes necessary. I know it’s very hard to give a second chance to someone who hurt you. You may think it would make you gullible if you gave someone another chance and they hurt you again. But it wouldn’t. It would make you a so much better person than the person who hurt you. Forgiveness is a very hard thing to do. But I know we all can do it.
“When something bad happens you have three choices. You can let it define you, let it destroy you, or
let it strengthen you.”
