…even when you don’t want to
…even if you are innocent
…even though you hurt
…even when you can’t do it
…even if they don’t say sorry
…even though you were wronged
…even if you don’t understand why
…every when the bitterness nags at your soul

And when you do it, have a pure heart about it.
And when you do it, you can’t take it back.
And when you do it, expect nothing in return.
And when you do it, keep doing it
And when you do it, live it out.
And when you do it, let it be unconditional.

Compassion+Forgiveness=Healing
This formula will change your life. You ask me how do I know? I know because I live it out daily. Been hurt a lot by people. Had to forgive them too.

Pray for those that hurt you. You never know what a person is going through that may have led to the hurt that you experienced from them. You can’t see what’s really happening because you are so tied into your feelings about it. Look at the bigger picture. I challenge you to go beyond your feelings.

Keep forgiving until it doesn’t hurt anymore. If you can change your mind about it, your heart won’t allow the bitterness to stay because the heart and the mind are one.

So keep doing it until it doesn’t hurt anymore! I guarantee you that the wounds will heal with time. God will take care of the rest for you. He knows and He cares for you. And He loves you.
