Forgiveness

This week I’ve had a strong feeling that I should focus on the attribute and gift of forgiveness. I have been studying and learning as much as I can about it and I’ve already gained a strong desire to change in so many ways and to do better….I hope to continue to learn more. I pray that through this message you will be able to gain whatever God desires to put in your heart. <3

As human beings and as imperfect as we are, we sadly tend to focus on the things that other imperfect human beings have done to us intentionally or unintentionally, creating in us feelings of pain, hurt, anger, disappointment etc…Life will always be full of our imperfections and the imperfections of others. If we really desire to have the best possible life for ourselves and for those around us, then we need to learn what it truly means to forgive and the amazing power behind it.

Forgiveness will benefit ourselves more than those whom we forgive…It brings a peace that is indescribable….and our souls need peace to continue to move forward. Forgiveness is rising above the situation. It’s seeing things in a higher way, in the way that God would want us to see them and to deal with them. He counsels us to forgive others constantly, over and over if needed, even 70 times 7…always remembering that HE, our GOD is CONSTANTLY forgiving US for our sins and our mistakes.

There’s obviously a good reason to why God wants us to be forgiving…Could we ever live in Heaven with Him without knowing the power of forgiveness? or without learning what it is like to treat others as we would want to be treated?…All these attributes that He asks us to practice lead to a Higher knowledge, strength and nobility <3 As sons and daughters of God our souls here on this earth need to constantly try to reach to as high as we can. We’re made to be better than we are now, we are made to improve and to BE MORE! It’s within us! we just have to peel off the bad and let go of the things that stop us from progressing towards where we someday want to reach.

Let’s develop the attributes of the strong! Lets forgive with a pure heart and let go of the hurt and the feelings that have us trapped every time we think about it….We have to let things go for our own physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. We have to stop thinking about it and start filling our lives with more positivity and surround ourselves with all the good thats available.

The only way to really be able to forgive someone is to ask for Gods help! He will help us in our desire to rise higher than where we are now. <3 He will help to remind us that we really don’t know what’s truly in the heart of anyone…we don’t know exactly what this person has been through, we don’t know their challenges, sorrows etc…The only one who knows what’s in their heart is GOD. We have to leave it up to HIM to be the ultimate judge and we have to stop thinking about it. Our job is to be better and rise higher! to focus on our OWN HEART and ask ourselves; what do I need to get rid off to free my heart and be at peace? whom do I need to forgive? what is stoping me from rising higher than where I am now?

God knows each individual heart completely! Trust Him and know that He will help us change our hearts to be more caring, more forgiving, patient and full of love…To be more like HIM. The day will come that He will reward us for the changes we make and the goodness that we bring into our lives and into our hearts. The choice to forgive is ours, Let’s choose the path that brings true happiness, peace, and love into our lives.
