Easier said than done, right?
But I felt this is what GOD is asking as my penance for this year’s lent. One Sunday’s homily really struck me and I kept on remembering this on and on.
Someone I trusted so much has wronged me, it left me scarred, unable to move on for a long time.
I kept on thinking about these items and still I’m lost with answers
- Do I need the wrong doer to ask forgiveness first? I think so but what if s/he doesn’t? Should I keep the grudge forever?
- For every situation it takes two to tango, so in a way or maybe in more ways, I did provoke the incident. Can I forgive myself for causing such retaliation?
- The degree of the deed/ wrongdoing
I guess I’m not ready to be nice, not yet, but in time I hope I can.
Forgive sounds good,
Forget I don’t think I could
They say time heals everything
And I’m still waiting
(lyrics from the song Not Ready To Make Nice by Dixie Chicks)
