FORGIVENESS (INSPIRED BY THE MARY MARY EPISODE)

Many Christians speak on this topic of forgiveness and label it as the right thing to do in order to move on, but do we truly understand the meaning of what it is to forgive? For example, infidelity in a marriage is a hard pill to swallow but if you decide to keep your marriage, you have to forgive your spouse and let go, not only of the action but the hurt and pain that came along with it.
I know it’s easy for someone to say let it go but if it is something you honestly cannot forgive, you cannot move forward in the marriage. It takes trust to move on with your life, and if you can’t trust your spouse, you have nothing. If your focus is always on the other person, how will you find time and energy to focus on God’s purpose for you? We can’t pretend that we are over the pain because it will always resurface and you will bring misery and negativity to everything you touch and the people around you.
No one is perfect, people make mistakes but it’s ok if you can’t handle their mistake. It’s ok if it still bothers you and the pain hurts you to your core. You don’t have to stay in the marriage. I can’t believe that our Creator would want us to stay in a situation we are not comfortable with nor with a man we can’t trust. The Bible gives you a ground for a divorce and infidelity is one of them. So, if the marriage is worth fighting for then fight but if it’s time to let go, let go and let God!
