RE: #250 Ladies Of Hive Community Contest: When I Forgave My Aunt

What a touching reflection 💯 thank you for sharing that moment with us... Forgiveness, especially when someone has caused deep hurt, isn’t a step you take lightly. I can relate to that hesitation, that sense of fairness hanging in the balance.
But when you mentioned that verse "not just up to seven times, but up to seventy-seven" I felt a soft shift too. It made me remember that forgiveness isn’t about letting someone off the hook. It is about freeing yourself from the weight you carry inside. That gesture of grace, even for someone who may not feel they deserve it, it can bring you a peace only God can give.
Thank you for opening up this conversation and inviting us to peer into the heart of forgiveness. Your words inspire and comfort more than you may realize.

Wow. What a lovely comment you left in my post. 💗 And you're right. Forgiving someone is beneficial for you. Just thinking that will lead you to that action. Did you make your own post too regarding this? I think you have a lot more to say, just like this comment. You might win too with that knowledge. 😉
Aww, thank you so much 💗. I am really glad my comment resonated with you. You are right, forgiveness really is more for our own peace than anything else and just deciding to take that step changes so much inside us. I haven’t made my own post about forgiveness yet, the post I made is about how to love yourself when no one tells you how to but you have inspired me to consider it. I do have a lot more thoughts on the topic. And who knows, maybe it could help someone else too.
