 | The simplest lessons are often the hardest to implement. |
If there's one universal lesson Signed, Sealed, Delivered has taught us, it's about learning to forgive even when it's still hard and the pain is still there. This week's Living Letter writer, Ashley, shares some of her journey towards making peace with the past through forgiveness.
Signed, Sealed, Delivered has been a major part of my life. I have taken major steps towards forgiveness because of this show/movie series.
Oliver and I have a lot in common---as in Truth Be Told, we share a lot of common anger towards our fathers. I was angry at my dad for leaving me behind when I was twelve. There have been a lot of painful experiences that my mind has still not forgotten and I would rather not mention. I didn’t forgive or speak to my father for ten years.

 | But then I turned twenty, and came to know Christ. Now, at twenty-nine, I watch Signed, Sealed, Delivered, and see that forgiveness is the first step in really living again. After the wisdom of this blog, Martha Williamson and Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I have decided to take the first step towards forgiving my father and be on speaking terms with him. After all, he still my father, and God would want me to love despite everything. God taught me through Signed, Sealed, Delivered about forgiveness. And I will forever be blessed and grateful in knowing what true forgiveness really is and what it means to me. |
