Forgiveness is giving up all possibility of a better past. – Anon
When Joseph forgave his brothers because he knew it was God’s plan, he also knew the past was PAST!
Live long enough and somebody you know and trust will forsake you or cross you, sometimes intentionally. Too often however, many of us carry these scars and burdens steeped in anger for years seeking restitution, thinking somehow it will magically restore us. But restoration is at hand, and it’s yours for the taking if you’re willing to just forgive. It won’t change the past but it makes the future a whole lot brighter.
Until tomorrow….
