Forgiveness

Sometimes we hear things about ourselves that hurt us deeply. It is so difficult not to fight back. Not to explain to that person how they also have hurt you. To explain to them why they also were in the wrong. Today however I have mixed feelings of sadness and gladness. I am sad that I could hurt somebody with my words and actions without meaning too. That sometimes I have the capability to say stupid and hurtful things. Although what I said and did happened six years ago and I have grown and learned as a person since then....it still stings to hear. Especially since I have forgiven myself and moved on.

However I suppose today was just a reminder of the power of our words and how I can't change someone else's feelings about me.

I'm sorry I'm not perfect...but in a way I'm not because if I was then I would stop learning and becoming a better person.

I'm glad that she told me finaly since I have known all these years that I must have done something to her without meaning to. I'm glad that today I was reminded of the power of words and felt it deeply. I pray I continue to change and learn from my mistakes.

I just pray that this person can also find forgiveness in their heart.
