Reality

Recovering from a relationship that went wrong
takes time…
sometimes there’s reconciliation and restoration and the relationship is reinstated
sometimes it isn’t
but forgiveness should always be given,
no matter how hard it feels to give it
or you will find you’re not free to focus on the future
without a ball and chain holding your feet back in yesterday or yesteryear.
Forgiveness doesn’t make you immune to future betrayals
but it does protect you from the pain from the past following you into your future
and gives you relief for your hurting heart while it heals.
Don’t stay handcuffed to your history.
