I used to think forgiveness was something you gave to other people, like a gift you could just hand over. Now I see it's more like digging a well in your own backyard. I spent years handing out forgiveness like it was someone else's debt I was paying. It turns out, the only person in chains was me; the key was buried in my own heart. Took a lot of digging to find it, and the well it uncovered is still giving water.
