I Chose JOY!
The source of my JOY can be summed up in one powerful word-
It may be infinitely worse to refuse to forgive than to murder, because
the latter may be an impulse of a moment of heat; whereas the former
is a cold and deliberate choice of the heart.
George MacDonald
I did not harden my heart.
It is incredibly hard
for some to understand
how I can
FORGIVE
{yes even the adultress and her pride}
AND be
so thankful
and full of
JOY.
Forgiveness is my weapon.
My pain is valid
and yet
{Forgiveness is the scent that the rose leaves on
the heel that crushes it.}
Forgiveness does not release the offender from walking away
without any
consequences to their choices
consequences are a natural part of life...
however
FORGIVENESS
does release and empower
the one forgiving
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
-Gandhi
It is a daily CHOICE to forgive.
I know its not easy,
but its possible!
Never does the human soul appear so strong as when is foregoes revenge and dares to forgive an injury.
E.H. Chapin
Because I chose this, JOY happens naturally.
I find favor in places I never knew.
I find favor in the eyes
of
My Love,
{the one that matters most}
True Love NEVER FAILS.
