The Act of Forgiveness

There is not one person on earth that hasn't be offended by a loved one. As you go through life, at some point in time, you are either going to hurt a loved one/ones or they are going to hurt you.  That loved one can be a spouse, a friend, a parent, a sibling, a child or anyone you hold close to your heart.

It is pertinent for you to know that you must constantly forgive not necessary because the other party deserves it but most importantly because you need it to heal.

Forgiveness is hard and painful, i know but it is in the process of forgiving that we find our own healing.

You probably thinking i don't know how much it hurt you or what was destroyed by the act committed by the other person and you are probably right.  The thing is, the person who hurt you may have forgotten all about it and you are the one in constant pain either seeking revenge or just holding on to the pain.

I am not bothered about who hurt you but i am worried about you and your welfare. I need you to be the best version of yourself and you cannot accomplish that if you are holding someone in un-forgiveness.

You need to let it go....

For you to heal completely, you have to stop touching that pain, you have to stop thinking about it and most importantly you need to stop wishing the person/ people bad.

I have often heard that you are not healed until you can pray for the person who hurt you and i believe that to be very true.

When someone does something wrong, don't forget all the things they did right, you might find strength to forgive and move on from it, most especially if it happens to be your spouse that you have to see daily or a child or parent.

Also since you are not without sin and you have also hurt someone that cares about you, you probably want to learn how to forgive so that you too can be forgiven.

Forgiveness is an attribute of a strong individual.  it sets you free from bondage.

Remember to also forgive yourself of all your regrets and mistakes and move on

To forgive is to truly love yourself and your neighbor.

Happy New Month
