Why We Must Learn To Forgive

Forgiving is for ourselves.

God calls us to forgive others, but why is it so hard sometimes? Why should we forgive them?

If you’re reading this article, then I am assuming you have someone in your life who has done you wrong, and you need to forgive them.

Good news!

Forgiveness isn't for the person who did you wrong, believe it or not, forgiveness is for you!

Holding on to un-forgiveness, and bitterness only damages our soul. It’s like walking day-to-day with a dead weight, and a chain around our feet. Truth is, we’re all humans, we all mess up, we all need forgiveness.

Forgiving doesn't necessarily mean forgetting.

Forgiving just means you lay that dead weight, that bitterness, and that hatred in the hands of God, and you walk away. Forgiving is the beginning of a healing process, the day you start forgiving those who have done you wrong, is the day your life becomes better.

If you walk day-to-day, holding onto that un- forgiveness, it's only hurting you, not the person who did you wrong.

Take it from someone who’s been in that position.

Forgive for yourself, and walk away from the situation. Lay it in Gods hands.

It works, I promise!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
