Jake and I was able to hear Chris August sing this song at Winter Jam 2011.  Even though everyone’s circumstances are unique we all have past mistakes, guilt, and hurt in our lives.  There were two simple phrases from the song that stood out to me that night  “I thought the pain was here to stay, but forgiveness made a way” and  “I forgive you”.  We often hold onto the past or struggle with the present.  As humans we will make mistakes every day and hurt the people we love.  I am thankful that we the opportunity to forgive and be forgiven so we can allow God heal the wounds in our lives.
