Often times when we are wronged, we naively believe that in order to be aligned with divine forgiveness, we are supposed to allow this person the same access to our lives that they once had. Also false. Forgiveness is freeing yourself from the resentment or pain that this person caused you and enabling feelings of freedom through this understanding that respectful absence can be a form of forgiveness as well. Not everyone whom desires access to your life, your heart, and your spirit are worthy of the access they seek. Protect it. Your time is your most valuable asset. By all means be selfless to those whom will appreciate it. But to continuously allow yourself to be used and suffer through other’s actions, you’re doing no one any justice. Take care of you first so that you can take care of your purpose and be all that you were meant to.
