The Daily Word: Forgiveness Monday June 24, 2024
I forgive myself first, so I may then forgive others.
When I am hurt, it can be tempting to lash out at the ones I hold responsible for my pain. I might feel that’s fair and just, but I also know punishing someone who hurt me only serves to add more anger and sadness to an already wounded world. I can let the cycle of anger and hurt stop with me and choose to meet hurt with healing. When I do, forgiveness comes more easily.
Practicing self-care, I do what I can to accept and forgive myself. Freed from self-condemnation, it becomes easier to see the pain in someone who hurt me. I envision their hurt easing and their life filled with blessings, knowing each healed heart sends healing to the world. #cliftnotesoflife
