Forgiveness

Forgiving  is something that is hard to do. When you have been wrong and hurt the last thing you want to do is forgive.
I was listening to a song about forgiveness and one line spoke to me. It tells you when you forgive the prisoner who is free is yourself.
I had to think about that for a while and realized how true this was. When I hold onto the anger and the hurt I am trap in my own prison. I am not free to move forward.
It is only when I let go by forgiving that the weight that holds me down is removed. The prison doors are open wide and a new beginning for my life starts.
Today I need to forgive so that tomorrow I can move out of my prison.
