Finding forgiveness

After 18 years on this Earth, I have learned that things are never as bad as they seem. Sure, it's easy for me to forget that sometimes, but I eventually always remember it. I also sometimes forget how freeing forgiveness is, but I often remember and experience it. Forgiving someone is usually easier if they are sorry.
The hardest people to forgive are 1. people closest to you, 2. people who don't deserve forgiveness, and 3. people who are not sorry. I have had issues with all three, especially no.1 lately, but I have found forgiveness in my heart for all of them, and I am grateful.
It releases such a burden to forgive someone. You free themselves and yourself. Even if they never know how deeply they hurt you or how hard it was to forgive them, the healing powers of forgiveness will work hard on your heart, and with time you will forget.
It's also important to forgive ourselves for mistakes and for being hurt and upset by other people. Forgiveness in itself is vital for anyone who wants to be happy in this life.Happiness is simply unattainable without forgiveness and love.
I don't have much more else to say except that I hope we - myself especially- can all forgive because if we cannot forgive others, the Lord cannot forgive us. Also because without forgiveness, we tend to dwell on the negative aspects of life and cannot see the positive ones. We focus too much on the dirt on the ground and not enough on the flowers growing in that dirt.

I love you, and so I let you go. I set you free to go your way. I know it is time for us to go seperate ways and move on to greater things. God has better things planned for you and I, and he is going to bless us with comfort, happiness, and peace for doing His will. I have faith in Him and in you. Don't lose faith in yourself, but if you do, you can borrow some of mine because I will never lose faith in you. As I cut the ropes holding you down, tying you to me, I let you go. You are free to soar, to fly higher to greater things.
I wish you peace, joy, and success. I send my prayers and thoughts with you, and I hope for you to overcome your weaknesses and do as God says in the scriptures: to come to Him with your weaknesses and let Him turn them into strengths. I have enjoyed spending time with you, and watching you grow. I know God is pleased with your efforts, and He will bless you for trying. Do all that you can and then turn it over to God and let Him do the rest. And never give up. May God be with you always. Amen.
