The Soul’s Fight: Wrestling with Forgiveness

ARE YOU HURTING? Have you been carrying
around that hurt for years? Have you found
yourself asking: Why should I have to forgive?
He doesn’t deserve to be forgiven. Doesn’t
forgiveness mean I have to trust again?

I wrestled with those same questions myself. I resisted this
thing called forgiveness for two long depressing years. The
thing of it was; I wasn’t getting any better. I was still hurting,
still wounded, still broken. So, in a final desperate moment,
I made a decision to dive into this concept of forgive-
ness until I really understood what it meant. As I wrestled,
what I discovered was stunning. I was unprepared to learn
that forgiveness is actually a gift to the one who is hurting.
That’s right: it’s a gift for you! Hard to imagine? I understand.
It was unfathomable to me as well. Forgiveness is often greatly
misunderstood. Because we don’t understand it, we reject it.

I extend an invitation to you to join me on a journey of dis-
covering the gems that lie within forgiveness and how it can
change your life forever. Will you join me?
