Put Down the Weight

Forgiveness is not a pardon for what happened. It is a decision to stop carrying what happened. Release is how you make room for peace — you go through it to grow through it. Some of what you are holding was never yours; some of it is yours to hand over to God, not to keep rehearsing.

PRACTICE — Write what you are still carrying — one page, honestly. Then one line underneath it: “This is not mine to hold anymore.”

Today's affirmation: “I release what was never mine to hold.”
