Moving On

Have you ever noticed that when someone has been through a tough time it seems difficult for others to let them move on? That has become very evident to me in the past few months.

Sometimes we can endure what other might think is just "unforgiveable". In doing so, it may appear that we do not see the vastness of the problem. It may appear that they are "pretending to be doing well". You know, just maybe the ones struggling made the concentrated choice to deal with it and move on!!!

It's not that there was no pain. It was not that the hurt did not seem overwhelming. It is not that it is just ignored or forgotten.
But, here is what it is:
  • It is a person showing absolute remorse for actions.
  • It is that person asking for forgiveness.
  • It is the person who was hurt giving forgiveness with no conditions.
  • It is focused on recovery - together!
  • It is learning from how this happened and moving on.
  • It is once again laughing and joking together; holding hands and loving life - together.
  • It is recognizing that Satan wants us focused on the sin and the hurt.
  • It is knowing without a doubt that Jesus wants us moving on and continuing to grow together.

So, sometimes no matter what happens and how devastating it might be, those involved just might have already put it behind them and are fully enjoying rediscovering what they love about each other!!!

I love moving on!!!

    I know what you mean! I've experienced this with family members too.....like when I'm blessed to be expecting again and everyone acts like I just told them the world is coming to an end. LOL

    I love moving on too! Great, REALLY great things come from moving on. *wink*
