Forgiveness is a gift that you give yourself. It is an empowerment to get your power back from the victimizer. Period. Forgiveness is for the victim. It is not to suggest that one needs to forget, but that being hurt can never be forgotten. That why forgiving our perpetrator is the best give of freedom that we can give ourselves. Ultimately learning to forgive ourselves is a measure that takes great life skills, but is the ultimate reward for our spiritual well being.

you can only go as far as you can comprehend on forgiveness. When you have done something really horrible and you can't take it back then you can learn to forgive others.Not recommended though to do something bad. Make a commitment to not retell the story or visit the feelings again. God forgives everything and we are not God. We are left with impressions or scares but we should not pick at the scabs because they get worse. Leave them alone and move on and the scar heals the best. A Christian has the ability to ask Jesus for forgiveness and receive it. Your faith that it is behind you and no longer counts against you. He forgives past, present and future sins. Satan creates anchors to make people sink God releases the burden and live free and you rise above it all. hope this helps.

People will always be b****es, there's nothing we can do about it. But, something for you to think about is, if they are talking about you, it's because, they don't like something about themselves, and they envy something about you! And as for forgiving yourself, your human! You are going to make mistakes, but what makes you a good person is not making those mistakes again. You are a wonderful person, be proud of yourself! Just because you make a mistake, doesn't mean that you have to beat yourself up about it, just make a personal note not to make that mistake again. It will take a lot, I know, but I think you can do it and I wish you the best of luck!!!!
