Forgiveness Sunday

I used to think that forgiving wasn't that difficult, until the insults, wounds, and suffering from pain became a part of me. That pain seems to destroy you from within, and the only way out is to let it go and allow yourself to be free from it.I was the one who asked for forgiveness because my conscience would not allow me to forget my own mistakes. I realized that no amount of apologies would change that, but I felt that it would help me acknowledge my mistakes to those people and maybe even come to an understanding. It is extremely difficult to ask for forgiveness and to forgive.
