Letting Go

I have experienced brokenness in family due to offences committed before I was ever born. I have also seen marriages that could have been saved die too soon because of the pain held onto for too long. Hurt people indeed hurt people.I have also experienced the joy and restoration that come with being forgiven; by God, by my family and by my community. I would not have stayed hopeful that someday my businesses would thrive, or family be fully reunited or even trust in a secure eternal destiny if it were not for forgiveness.I believe that we can only thrive where we have healthy communities and these cannot be built in an environment of disunity and mistrust. Just as forgiveness is the precursor to salvation, I believe it is the first step towards the wholesome redemption of meaningful relationships in any thriving community.
