Forgiveness: Is It Easier Said Than Done?

The Bible says, "Judge not, that you be not judged," and "As you sow, so shall you reap." How about the Lord's prayer in which we ask God to forgive us as we forgive others? These are all law of attraction teachings.

Yes, many of us have been taught that it's necessary to forgive. In learning to forgive and keeping a clean slate, the person you are really freeing is yourself. I'm sure many of us have been hurt by others and may have held some grudges. However, after reading this article about Jennifer Hudson, who lost her mother, brother and nephew, because of her sister's estranged husband, I can't imagine what she's going through and hope none of you have ever walked a mile in her shoes. In her case, is unforgiveness justified and is it easier said than done? If you could reach out to Jennifer, what advice could you offer?


The article stated-

Jennifer Hudson should be on top of the world – but there is a deep, painful hole in her heart she cannot repair.

The “American Idol” sensation’s career is going strong. She’s a new mom, looking fabulous after losing more than 80 pounds, and is engaged to hunky professional wrestler David Otunga.

But the grieving Oscar winner has still not been able to forgive her older sister Julia for the tragic deaths of three beloved family members, say sources.

The 29-year-old star was devastated in late 2008 when her mother, brother and nephew were murdered, allegedly by Julia’s estranged husband William Balfour – and Jennifer still cannot make amends with 33-year-old Julia for bringing the thug into their lives.

“Jennifer has tried, but every time she sees Julia or talks to her, she cannot help think if it wasn’t for her marrying William, her mother would still be alive,” revealed a family friend.


I'm sure Julia is carrying some guilt and pain from this tragic situation as well. However, the two of them are all they have left. Let's pray for forgiveness, so these two sisters can heal.
