Forgive and Be Free

Forgiveness: This week I had to ask for forgiveness. I had not planned on hurting someone but I had. I don't believe forgiving always has to feel "warm and fuzzy". It is a deliberate act. Sometimes it is choosing to let the mind pick its position to forgive and the heart feelings can come later. I think that when we chose to forgive; we benefit ourselves more than the offender. Forgiving heals us, and then we are free.
