Do you think you should give him/her second chance ?
Many of us think that second chances are only given to kind-worth-it persons. Of course right ? Because who like to be with a person who hurt and broke your heart before ? No one. Unless you're already immune [to pain]. But second chances should be given to the person you love no matter what. That's the reason why it called chance. Chance are made for everyone including him/her. You just need to let him/her do the right and best thing for the second time around. Because who knows. Maybe he/she realize what your relationship made wrong. And your love story is sweeter than before. Although , second chances are not only for romantic relationship. It can be for a mother who left you , a friend who betray you or anyone who hurt or disappoint you. Everybody can change for someone better.
Let me share you a story. Way back 2003 when Sofia's mother left her. She was just 2 years old that time. As an innocent cute baby she don't have any idea what's happening until she become more aware for the absence of her biological mother by the age of 4. But it doesn't really affect her so much. Because Sofia have her mama M [her auntie] , her papa J and a loving family. Until her 6th years of living. She envied all her classmate for having the presence of their mother every morning and meetings. Even though she still have her father , it still the same 'cause he was working in the city. And from those moment she wished that , "I want to see my mama again''. Then, December 8 ,2008 was a very memorable date for this is the day her mother came back. Sofia was full of joy and gladness those moments. They have a good time. She send her way to school for the first time. That she even brag this to her classmates.
Until one day , while she was walking back home , she was thinking what her mother are doing. But the time she open their door she know she's gone. She left her again. She cried a lot and that's the time she start to hate her. She became hard-headed rude child. That she even fight with her father, aunties, uncle, cousins, sibling , even her teacher. Her mindset was "If they don't give me what I want it means they don't love me". Until she's in 3rd grade she realize that she wouldn't want to be that kind of child. So she study hard , then she became an honor student again. Then she kinda forget her mother for the next 2 years. When someone invite her to a church, a christian church. Those time she just feel like going their because she have a crush on a guy their. That's the time I met and receive God. She don't know but she can still remember how filled she was with his [God] word and presence.
And now ,she's typing some article just to help people out there to see things in different view. I love how it all happen. All those pain, heartbreaks, anger, burden, and unfaithfulness because they made me who I am today. I already forgive my mom. It just that I'm waiting foe her to show up again and show me that she was willing to stay even just for the sake of my dearly loving father who loves her so much despite what she have done. For you , who having some second thought if you should forgive that someone. The answer will be YES. But the thought of giving another chance to have that someone back in your life is all up to you :) You know the situation and I know you know just what to do. I know it's hard to forgive and give another chance. But I promise you it will set you free.
To Forgive is a choice. That all the people deserve in any situation. Forgive just how your are forgiven and had the chance to prove yourself once more to them. Always remember Forgiveness is a gift.
