Story of Forgiveness

“When the past is forgotten, the present is unforgettable” – Martin Amis

I may not be able to know “how you feel” but one thing for sure is that I have the ears to listen and understand, the voice to comfort and the time to support you through your process of recovery. It shall be long and tiresome but at some point, it shall end. True the damage has been done but healing always takes place, what is important is whether you started the treatment.

I understand the struggle of encountering the past as if it never took place, some people get to escape and forget but for us, the form which it presents itself is one which time alone cannot heal. We must lead ourselves back to the present and this will require confronting the past. Let us make sure that the past doesn’t rob us of our future, only in the present can the past change.

What happened in the past may be the truth but it doesn’t have to be our story. We cannot mistake what happened or what we did for who we are. To have freedom we must forgive our debtors for debt is an act of unforgiveness. Being unforgiving is like drinking poison and expecting the other individual to suffer the consequences. And with freedom comes responsibility, it is up us to see the change and live the future we dream of.

“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present” – Bil Keane
