We often think of forgiveness as something that someone who has done us wrong must ask of us. There’s always another way to look at it. My thoughts on forgiveness suggest you 1 _ offering forgiveness to the person who has wronged you. Not forgiving them is like taking the poison (continuing to suffer from what they did or didn’t do to you) and 2 them to die!

Forgiveness is an act of the 7 . It dares you to imagine a better future, one based on the blessed 8 that your hurt won’t be the final word on the matter.
