The Power Of Forgiveness
Think of the person or the people who have done you sooooo wrong; even to the point that it feels almost impossible to pardon the things they’ve done to you or maybe someone you loved have said some things that “Yes, made you angry” but hurt you sooo much on the inside. Imagine that they have a real life encounter with the reality of what they did or said… and made a 100 degree turn for the Good before God and in their own heart in 100% Truth wanted to apologize to you from the depths of their soul and their apology was for real and Genuine.😳
Imagine them really feeling the sorrow and remorse of their actions and their words and being ready to reconcile, repent, apologize, admit, and really do whatever it took before God Himself to restore you back to feelings of peace, comfort and to never ever allow you to feel the way they made you feel ever again while demonstrating true change, communication and truly demonstrating true change from a sincere heart. Would you forgive them?
What Is Forgiveness?
Forgiveness is pardoning a transgression or a willful act of wrong against you or your loved ones. Forgiveness is not punishing; when It is in your power to do so. Forgiveness is letting go of Grudges, ill-feelings, hate, resentment, anger and thoughts of revenge. Forgiveness is having Mercy. Usually someone who hurts and betrays you and is truly sorrowful about it will need forgiveness in order to heal a friendship or relationship. There are family members who may need forgiveness for the way that they have treated you in the past. Friends who may have abandoned you and disrespected you and are ashamed of it. Whatever the case; Forgiveness frees you from bitterness. Forgiveness unlocks the cuff that’s connected to Anger. Forgiveness unblocks your blessings.
Forgiveness Requires Trust
We’ve heard it a million times that Trust takes years to build and only a second to be destroyed. That is every bit true. But, Forgiveness Requires Trust. I’m not talking about immediately forgetting everything that ever happened and was ever spoken; nor am I saying fake a friendship to make peace. Both are toxic ideas when it comes to forgiveness. Usually there are three parts to a good apology: saying I’m Sorry, Admitting what was Wrong and doing whatever possible to make up for the wrong that was done so that it would never ever happen again. (And Meaning it.) All of that is powerful, but, It takes trust to open up again. And real talk, It isn’t the easiest thing to do. Forgiveness requires Guarding Your Heart. Not keeping it shut… but keeping yourself safe in a way that you don’t experience what you have forgiven ever again. It requires “Allowing yourself to build trust little by little…” even if you were once “Super Close”.
The Danger of Unforgiveness
Well… Put simple, how can you ever expect to be forgiven if you don’t forgive? If you’re real and honest with yourself; you know that you have hurt people before. People maybe you didn’t mean to offend or maybe you did, but didn’t think that you would ever need forgiveness from them; to free you from the thoughts of regret and sorrow. Unforgiveness is a dangerous burden to live with. Many don’t realize or understand that Unforgiveness blocks paths of blessings. That mom may be really sorry for the mistreatment and neglect. That dad may be living with a boat-load of guilt of never being present or not having enough to provide. That Ex Boyfriend or Ex Husband may have really learned his lesson, Changed His Ways and really matured because He recognized what hurt your friendship and really knows a part of you he can strengthen and is willing to treat you better than you have ever known. That Ex Girlfriend or Ex Wife may have gone through some things that has truly humbled her to the point that she only dreams of being with you to truly respect you and honor you and be faithful. That friend or business partner that betrayed you may have been living with guilt for a long period of time and is ready to help you with all of their soul. I’m just saying, forgiveness is real and it strengthens; when you allow yourself to rebuild trust, little by little.
Final Thoughts
We’ve ALL sinned against God. Period. God Himself laid all the punishment that we deserved on Jesus; The Christ. God then took all the righteous deeds that He did in His Life and Credited our accounts so that we could enter into Heaven through a life of forgiveness and that our wrong doings could be atoned by His Blood. We have the power to forgive. If we do not forgive; how then can we be forgiven?
Unforgiveness keeps us imprisoned with negative thoughts, grudges, bad energy and bitterness, anger and so on… Forgiveness Heals families. Forgiveness heals businesses. Forgiveness heals friendships. Forgiveness heals yourself. Let’s practice forgiveness. Let’s overcome the fear holding us back from taking action. Guard your heart. Be willing to make up for what you’ve said and done. Don’t live in unforgiveness… your eternity will depend on it. Heaven will be filled with people who forgave the unforgivable. People who were like Jesus!✨
Ask yourself, who do I need to forgive? Who did me wrong? Who do I need forgiveness from? Who have I done wrong? Be real with yourself. It doesn’t mean you need to be all up in their business… it means that you let go of the anger, thoughts of revenge and you free your soul from the path of bitterness and hate; so you can live in peace before God.
