FORGIVENESS
Life is an adventure in forgiveness
Forgiveness is a healing
journey for both body
and soul…
Forgiveness
and the freedom of letting go
Forgiveness is a creative act that changes us from prisoners of the past to liberated
people at peace with our memories…
There is no future…
in the past
Non-forgiveness keeps you in struggle. It is not forgetfulness, but it involves accepting the Promise that the future can be more than dwelling on memories of past injury. To forgive means to “give up” to let go. Being willing to forgive can bring a sense of peace and well-being.
You can never live in the present and create a new and exciting future for yourself and your love partner if you always stay stuck in the past. When we forgive, we are willing to give up resentment, revenge and obsession. We are willing to restore faith not only in ourselves, but in life itself
It takes no strength to let go…only courage
Life either expands or contracts in direct proportion to your courage to forgive. Forgiveness is the most important single process that brings peace to our soul and
harmony to our life.
Forgiveness is not something we have to do, but something we must allow
to flow through us. We become aware that we are free and we can project that love outward into
the world
The natural flow of divine love dissolving all hurt, all bitterness, all sense of injustice. Just allowing the divine grace to express through us, to forgive through us. Forgiveness is the key to your own happiness. It ends the illusion of separation. Forgiveness is a form of love within the context of a personal crisis. The act of forgiveness constitutes
a mental bath
letting go of something that can only poison within. Forgiveness helps you make peace with your past. It creates the freedom to create a new future beginning now!
Change is constant. There is tremendous freedom in letting go. It is liberation to free our selfs of things that clutter our lives. Like pruning dead branches or like a snake shedding an old skin, we need to let go of the ‘what no longer serves’ or what no longer fits so there is room for something new, alive and what is needed at this time in our lives. When we stop holding on and clinging to anything, we realize we have everything. We no longer need to feel burdened by the responsibility of having to hold onto something
To forgive is to remember, that we have room in our hearts to begin again
and again and
again
Give yourself the gift of forgiveness, forgiveness is the freedom of
letting go
to forgive is to remember that we are so much more than our mistakes
