“I know that forgiveness is not about the next person but the explanation I got recently really wowed me. It says I have forgiven you not because you have to be forgiven, and I have forgiven you because I do not want to put myself in a place of stagnation when it comes to growth, I do not want to put myself in a position of stagnation when it comes to love, I do not want to put myself in a place of worship, progressing, my career.
“Forgiveness is a whole lot, and I only just realised that the bible says that if we do not forgive, God cannot forgive us. All these things are in the Bible, but it never really made an impact on me until someone explained it.
“I think forgiveness is essential for one’s growth”.
Asked if she has forgiven her son’s father, Tonto responded that she has and wishes him the best henceforth.
“Oh yes, especially him. I forgive him and wish him the best, for my son’s sake. I do. Why not?
