Recently someone who I thought was very close to me did something that deeply hurt me and still brings sorrow to my heart as I think about it.  I have spent over two weeks being very bitter and much time with angerness and rage in my heart and it has only brought more hurt towards me.  I decided to place my trust in the Lord and place this blog as my response in the best way I can to be able to forgive. 

Dear Friend,

Recently you have greatly hurt me and have caused much sorrow to come to my heart.  Even though I love you what you did isn't right but I will forgive you.  Even though you refuse to apologize for the malicious words that you spoke in anger I choose to forgive and I will forgive you.
