Allow yourself to let go, be healed and enjoy life again Forgiveness has often incorrectly been associated with negativity and weakness. It has even been said that it means agreeing with sin and hurt. Yet genuine forgiveness says: ''It hurt me. You hurt me. But I choose to let go, so I can be healed. I give you over to God.'' Dealing with forgiveness has been one of the most challenging issues of my life. Bitterness can cause deep wounds, which can steal your joy and make you ill. However, the good news is that deliverance is possible through forgiveness. Once I discovered the freedom of letting go, I regained my confidence, my abillity to enjoy life and the courage to love again. John 8:36: ''If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.''
