Forgiveness: THE NEED TO FORGIVE
written by Vicki F. Duffy - copywritten material
Over the years, a lot of hatred built up from those that sexually abused me. I forgave all of those that hurt me,
and for some of the people, it didn't happen until 21 years later that I forgave! That is a long time to hold onto
something like that. It’s never too late too forgive someone. I realized that I needed to forgive so I could go
forward with my life. If anyone has hurt you in any way, you may believe that forgiving those who hurt you is the
most difficult thing you could do. I believe forgiveness is key to healing. Although you may think that forgiving
someone is unfeasible right now, soon you will see that ALL things ARE possible.
Forgiveness can be hard, especially if you have been abused, hurt, betrayed and/or lied to. However, no matter
how you may feel, forgiveness is the key to opening that door that has been locked for a long time.
You may have gone through some horrible and traumatic things and you cannot ever see yourself forgiving that
person or what he/she has done. You may feel that it is way too hard to forgive, and that may seem true at the
moment; BUT you can forgive. Forgiveness is an act of your will. It is a choice to forgive someone.
Remember, you choose to forgive and let go of the unforgiveness you have clenched your hands on toward
another person.
The key to healing; any kind of healing, weather it be emotional, physical or mental, can be forgiveness.
We all need to forgive: forgive the person or people that have harmed you or abused you. If and when you
continue to hold unforgiveness in your heart, it may be the very thing that ties the hands of God and keeps
healing from being manifested in your body.
When you release that unforgiveness and forgive that person or those individuals that have hurt or abused you,
and turn all of the past over to God, your healing will come!
