Healing Through Forgiveness and Love

There are people in my life who wounded me deeply. Not strangers, but the ones close

enough to know my heart. Sometimes, it's someone at work,

someone at church, someone I trusted in my own family. Their words cut, their actions linger,

and the pain follows me into quiet places. But Lord, you see it all. When I try to forgive,

the memories rise again. When I try to love, my heart closes up.

When I try to move on, the hurt returns, so Lord, I come to you.

The only one who can heal what people break. Help me love the people who hurt

me. Lord, teach my heart your way. I think of Joseph,
