How To Forgive

May 21, 2013

Forgiving the person who hurt you the most is not as easy as it sounds.  It can really be one of the hardest things that you will ever have to do.  For some reason, you can take it from the world better than you can when it is someone that is very close to you.  Don't look at it that way though or you will get stuck in unforgiveness.   You have too much riding on your ability to forgive.  It is like a cancer to your bones and can cause sickness.  It is not worth it.  Make up your mind that you think about the fact that you are forgiven daily for all of the little things that you do wrong.  We are not perfect.  We are all works in progress.  You can't ask for something that you are not willing to give yourself.  You have to think on that everyday.  Again, no it is not easy but it is necessary if you plan to be successful.  Real success does not harbor negative energy.  Unforgiveness is negative and keeps one from flourishing.  Never forget the man in the bible who was forgiven his debts and he turned around and tried to make the man who owed him pay.  He was then severely punished for his actions.  Just forgive and keep it moving.  Humble yourself when doing so.  The same measure you give is what will be given to you.
