The case for forgiveness

Hello beautiful women of purpose!  Last week and this week’s blog is a gut check on our reality.  The work isn’t always pretty y’all but it’s necessary to live the life you were created to live.  In my book Prayer and Purpose Level up with WU I talked about the stronghold of unforgiveness and where that particular fixed mindset took me.  It is often said, the proof is in the results, my results were unproductive and inauthentic, and that wasn’t even the worse of it.  I was on that hamster wheel of unforgiveness for a long time.  It took me a while to understand that forgiveness wasn’t about the other person, it was about me and my well-being. It’s about choosing peace and acknowledging that when we hold on to hurt, the person that ends up being hurt the most is us.  Depending on the circumstance, your forgiveness is not an acknowledgment that what was done to you was right nor are you co-signing the harm done to you.  It is choosing to free yourself from the burden that was placed on you without your consent.  Do not give anyone that kind of power over you, choose to walk in grace and strength.  I acknowledge that this is one of the more difficult leveling-up tasks so move forward at your own pace and seek help where necessary.  As always, thanks for spending some time with me, and keep on keeping on.
