I Forgive You, Someday

November 2nd 2023

Someday, you will forgive:

your tongue for the things that it said,

your mind for the things that it thought,

your body for the things that it did,

your actions for the way that they hurt others,

your feet for how far they wandered,

and yourself for the time that you wasted.

It’s okay if today is not that day, as long as your someday is sooner than you think.

If you wait too long, you will be forced to forgive yourself for the time you spent wallowing in unforgiveness, too. Nothing creates bitterness, anger, sadness, or isolation like unforgiveness.

You deserve to forgive yourself.

Even if it’s someday.
