Forgiveness






Before we can forgive another, we have to understand one another.
"Let us forgive each other- only then will we live in peace."

"Forgiveness is a sign that the person who has wronged you means more to you than the wrong they have dealt!"-Ben Greenhalgh

We all know forgiveness is a choice! Forgiving is something we have all had to do, even if we didn’t want to. I know that for me forgiving someone who has hurt me is one of the greatest challenges of my life. You feel a sense of peace, closure you don’t owe them anything. I choose to forgive them because I didn’t want to be destroyed by bitterness, anger, hurt, resentment, shame or sadness. Forgiveness set me free from any toxic emotions.

When you forgive someone, there is no guarantee that you will have a restored relationship with that person.

Be Understanding

  Being understanding makes allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. People are sinful and will let you down.  Knowing that will help you be understanding when they do. Don’t expect perfection from your loved ones because you will be disappointed.  Work hard to be open to other’s opinions and facts without expectations . People don’t always need advice sometimes they just need a shoulder to lean on and an open heart to understand and listen.

Be Gentle

 A gentle person has a way of calming those around them.  They have the ability to deal with hard situations in a graceful way. Inevitably there will be conflict, but a gentle person will know the right way to deal with it. Being gentle meaning you have a strong hand but a soft touch. Speaking truth even when it's a hard and painful truth just doing so with a guard tone, so that your message can be received.  Being aware of others feelings, emotions and needs. Gentle people are open to new experiences and ideas. Being gentle takes work, patience and discipline. It's overcoming your ego versus you ego taking over you.
