Forgiveness

What is FORGIVENESS??

FORGIVENESS is the act of letting go of resentment, grudges, bitterness and thoughts of revenge.

Who hasn't been hurt by actions or words of others?? perhaps a parent constantly criticize you while growing up, a colleague sabotaged your project,your partner cheated on you,or you have been abused physically or emotionally by someone???

These wounds and hurts can make you feel angry, bitter and even the feeling of revenge, but, if you don't forgive you mighend up paying dearly for it. If you forgive and move on, there's an assurance that those wounds will eventually heal,but if you don't forgive and decide to hold grudges you will find out that the wounds get Dipper and Dipper leading to more damage.

Though the hurt or internal injury on you might always be with you but forgiveness makes it heal faster and lessens it's grip on you.some People are actually naturally forgiving than others, but, if you are a grudge holder, almost anyone can learn to be more forgiving.

When you let go of grudges and hurts, you will no longer define your life by how you've been hurt but how to heal the wounds inflicted on you and be free.

We all know that forgiveness is a very challenging act, especially when the person who hurt you refused to admit his/her wrong, or when you trust that person so much.you must also accept the fact that you are not perfect and you also have in one way or the other hurt someone or betrayed someone's trust.

Like the Bible says do to others what you want them to do to you,so we should learn to forgive others so that we can also gain forgiveness both from God and our fellow man.

One thing we don't seem to recognize is that we that refuse to forgive is actually the person bearing more pain.

I remember when a girl was living with us and she offended me unknowingly to her and I started harbouring hatred and grudges towards her,but,I was the one hurting more because whenever I see her my heart will skip a bit and I won't be comfortable around her and I didn't get over this until I came plainly and told her about it.

Sometimes the person who hurt you might not even be aware of his/her wrong doings, so we should be able to tell someone of their wrong so as not to be repeated again.

Everyone knows that our inner world is badly disrupted when someone hurt us,it's difficult you concentrate on anything other than our pain and turmoil.when we hold onto hurt, we are emotionally and cognitively hubbled, and our relationships suffer.

The only medicine for healing internal wounds is forgiveness.working on forgiveness can help us increase our self-esteem and give us a sense of inner strength and safety.
