Made this last September, decided to spice it up a little.

Forgiveness can mean many things, but true forgiveness is releasing the feelings of vengeance and resentment towards a person. Justice can also have multiple meanings, but true justice means when an offender repents on their wrongdoings and reconciles with their victims.

Forgiveness and Restorative Justice provide a means for Reconciliation, and for Peace.

Though it may seem hard to allow for such a process to occur between us and in us for past wrongdoings, it allows for the future to remain free of Bitterness and Hostilities.

It allows us to clear out the Baggage, to realize we've all made Mistakes, and to find Joy in the time that Remains. 

It allows Love, Hope and Faith to build up a place in our Hearts again, it lightens the load, it restores wellbeing and strength in Spirit to not just get through the day but to live in it. 

To receive soundness in our minds so we can abide in the time spent with those closest to us, rather than in spite of our miseries.

It may take a little soul searching, but as you get the stream flowing you come to find that some spring cleaning is all we need to feel Peace again.

There's a lot beneath the surface but nothing that the current can't wash away.

There's a bright new day waiting once we're ready for it.

To make change from settling the score to forgiving the difference. 

From what we desired to what happened instead. 

To seeing that it may not always go our way but we can find restitution if we be still and trust in God's plan.

Better Off
