Dear Reader,

How are you?Forgiveness stirs many emotions. For those who’ve faced betrayal, abandonment, or loss, it can seem impossible. But forgiveness isn’t about others — it’s about you.

When I finally chose to forgive my mother after years of pain, the relief was immediate. It didn’t erase what happened, but it set me free. I realized I couldn’t let anyone else hold power over my peace or my health again.

Also, maybe like me, you find it hard to forgive your ex. Lordy, don't I know what that feels like! But one night after dealing with so much anger and resentment, I asked God to help me let go of the anger. I also asked him to help me forgive [name of ex]. It worked, and I still haven't spoken to him. Not because I'm mad, but because there's no reason to.

Most importantly, though, as single moms, we also need to forgive ourselves. We do our best with what we have. It’s time to release the guilt, the “what-ifs,” and the weight of the past.

The Bible says in Ephesians 4:32, “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” That means you, too!
