Have you ever been hurt by someone's words? Are you still holding on to that hurt? Well, I learned the hard way that forgiving others is
something we do for ourselves, not for them. Years ago, my cousin
said some insulting things to me. I stayed angry for a long time. I didn't

decided to let go of my anger. As we hugged, I realized that I was doing
myself a favor by forgiving. Maybe that's a favor you can do for
yourself, as well.
