I've been watching the 'The Blacklist' for almost three years now. In the recent episode, Red asked Liz why she forgave Tom despite all the secrets he kept from her since they met, she simply said, 'Forgiveness doesn't change the past, but it can change the future'.
Weeks ago, one of my old friends suddenly messaged me wanting to see me when I come back. Just today, another old friend asked me if I am still angry with her. Amazed, amused, I said 'Ha?I actually surrendered it all to God. All okay'. She said she wanted to apologize.
If reconciliation isn't possible, forgiveness always is.Yes, it may not change the past, but it could change the future. Forgiveness doesn't mean pretending nothing has been done, but it is like there's nothing to blame other people for. This state can actually come only if we experience forgiveness from God through our repentance. When we grasp the idea of the mercy He has given us, like an ocean, forgiving others, is like a river coming from it.
