A Reflection for When We Struggle To Let Go Of The Past
Sometimes we hold the past against each other and against ourselves.
The psalmist prays for abundant mercy that blots out our transgressions. (From Psalm 51:1)
Blotting out doesn’t deny what happened. It doesn’t necessarily mean forgetting. I’m not even sure it means forgiving.
But perhaps it means we stop nursing and rehearsing our grievances.
Perhaps it means we stop demanding repayment of debts that neither they nor we could ever repay.
The next verses speak of getting clean and moving forward.
Sometimes that’s the best we can do.
