Forgiveness- how to do it, why you
should do it, and what comes from forgiving yourself and others.
We’re human, we make some poor choices, and we all have to be able to forgive
those faults whether we are the dealer or we’re on the receiving end.
How
to forgive…
Self:
you face yourself in the mirror and say, yes I made the mistake of… or yes I
did that crazy thing, but I now realize that it was wrong, childish, stupid,
ridiculous and I forgive myself for the act and what happened because of it…
then you do whatever it takes to NEVER DO IT AGAIN.
For those that believe in a higher power: take it to God (or whomever you believe in) in prayer and ask for forgiveness. He/she sees all and knows your heart. The universe sees all that you go through and recognizes your thoughts and words as stepping stones for your life; by forgiving yourself and adjusting your thoughts, you change your future before you physically see.
Simple
acts of owning your mistakes and relieving yourself of any pain or sadness
connected to it may be the best thing that you could do for yourself, your
life, your children, your spouse, family or business. We may sometimes get into a
mode where we are ready to crawl inside of a hole because of something that
we’ve done or didn’t do… but think about it, what good will that do? You need
to stand up again, move beyond that time, grow from it and use your lesson as a part of a living testimony to save someone else. Forgive yourself, you deserve it.
Others:
Yes, so many of us have been let down, “burned” by, abused by, hurt
by others…many times by those who we thought loved us. Guess what though… if you can’t forgive them for whatever they have done you will only hurt
yourself and block your blessings. Now, I’m not saying that you should forgive
them and let them back in or allow them to hurt you over and over again. Forgive, but do not become a pawn in their game and allow it to reoccur.
Forgiving others does not mean that they have to apologize! You go into your
mind, in prayer, in meditation and pan through the problem or occurrence in
your mind; you forgive by not allowing it to take over your life, keep hurting
you, etc. You say “I forgive you for… that you did to me, my family,
etc”. God forgives us, you need to forgive others and yourself for your own inner peace, calmness,
clarity, and growth.
Never
take revenge!
Romans 12:19 “Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the
righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, “I will take revenge; I will
pay them back,” says the LORD.”
Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” It is not your job to go toe-to-toe and hurt someone because they hurt you; again, this will only hurt you in the end. Speak kindly, do what you can to overcome the pain, and walk away if it is at all possible. How you respond to certain words/situations can deeply affect your life.
You
are not perfect nor are those who have harmed/hurt you!!!
Forgiveness
in the Bible
Matthew
6:14-15
For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also
forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will
your Father forgive your trespasses. You need to have a heart and mind that forgives; your life and all within it benefits when you can forgive.
Ephesians
4:32
Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ
forgave you. You have a part of your that is filled with love and kindness, even when it hurts you have to try to remember that.
What
happens when you forgive?
You can smile, laugh, love, and be happy again. You can reclaim your power,
your joy and your many present and coming blessings… you can live again!
Unlock
your doors, break down those walls and forgive! No, it’s not always that
easy… but it can be done. Yes, you may lose some “friends” or have
to love some family only from a distance… but that’s ok.
I’m
praying for any of you that may be going through a rough patch, have just gone
through something or those who may be living in confusion, pain, depression
because of a negative situation. I love you with the love of the Lord, and more
importantly God loves you and He will never leave you.
If you need to talk, I’m always around.
In
the meantime, get to work so that you can change your life.
Be blessed and be at peace.
