Those who wronged you may never say “I’m sorry” – Prudent Ludidi
Ladies and gentlemen,
Today, I want to talk about something that can be difficult to accept, those who wronged you may never say “I’m sorry.”
We’ve all been hurt by someone at some point in our lives. And often, we hold onto that hurt, and hope in waiting for the person who wronged us to acknowledge their mistake and apologize.
But the truth is, that apology may never come.
It’s hard to accept because we feel like we deserve closure. We deserve to hear that the person who hurt us regrets their actions.
But closure is not something someone else gives you. Closure is something you give yourself.
You have the power to choose:
Choose to heal, even if they never acknowledge their wrongdoing
Choose to move forward, even if they never make amends
Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting what happened. Forgiveness means releasing the hold that person has on you.
Forgiveness means taking back control of your life.
You don’t need someone else’s apology to move on. You don’t need someone else’s validation to heal.
You are strong enough to do it on your own.
And when you do, you’ll find peace. You’ll find freedom.
Remember, holding onto anger and resentment only hurts you. It doesn’t change the past.
But forgiveness can change your future.
So, don’t wait for someone else to say “I’m sorry.” Say it to yourself: “I’m sorry that happened to me, but I’m moving forward.”
Say it loud and clear: “I deserve to heal. I deserve to be happy.”
Take back your power. Take back your life.
Move forward with courage and faith.
You got this.
