The Weight of Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a complicated thing. Especially when you’re the one asking for it.

Because forgiveness, I’m learning, doesn’t always come from the person you wronged. Sometimes it has to start with you. With God. With grace.

I pray that one day, that person understands just how sorry I am. But even if they never do, I’ll keep trying to be better. That’s all I can do.

We all make mistakes. What matters is what we choose to do after them.
