I heard from a preacher once that the act of forgiveness isn't for those who have harmed us. It is for us. Once we have been able to forgive those who have caused us harm, we are free.

I was also taught to believe that once you offered up your request to God for Him to forgive you and have done so with every intention of being worthy of forgiveness, that He gives it unconditionally. I like that. It still gives me comfort even though I struggle with my belief.

All we can do as the human animal is to be responsible for ourselves and allow ourselves to learn from our past. I always believe that you are constantly learning and growing Titrone. Every time you have explained where you are in your life, you do so with such determination to keep reaching up that I have never doubted you. Ever. I believe in you.

Not a single person on this planet is perfect. And that is just fine, as long as all of us are reaching for a higher place.
