Any hurt
no matter how small
it might seem,
needs forgiveness.
If we refuse to forgive,
that relationship
will break down.
When someone hurts us,
the instinct is to strike back....
but when we do,
we not only destroy
any possibility of reconciliation,
but also we allow
anger and hate
to control us.
We become a captive
to the past,
poisoned by
bitterness all those years
bitterness or anger
becoming part of our identity
making it difficult......
