Love is letting go of the hate
Forgiveness
Forgiveness is a conscious choice
It must begin first in your head
In an aware and planned way
Sometime change engenders dread.
How interesting to think of forgiveness as becoming a habit.
Anything we do repeatedly and with regularity can become habitual.
However, few things in life cause us to rebel as much as the idea
of forgiving a wrong or hurt, especially when we feel justified.
The idea that love can be endless, continual and ongoing acts
of forgiveness is inspired. We are all going to mess up,
everyone one of us, and as a result cause harm.
We all have to forgive hurt at some point. And when I say forgive,
it does not mean what they did was okay. It means that you are done
hurting and are ready to move on’.
Love is letting go of the hate, forgive and then forgive yourself.
If you love with all your might and sometime stop holding onto the thing
that GOD himself is trying to rip apart.
Time has the power to heal all wounds,
But the power of forgiveness is beyond time;
Moving the rock that is in your heart,
The spirit of light will raise you up.
The answers are found already in your heart,
And you have the power to move that rock;
By changing yourself, others will change,
Peace on earth will not be contained.
“Not forgiving someone is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.“
The benefits of forgiveness have frequently been extolled.
It releases the pent-up anger and resentment that is so harmful to us.
Keep that inside, nurse the grudge and refuse to forgive and see if you
feel any better. You might get some short term adrenaline surges, but
in the long run it is like taking poison and hoping the other person will die.
You can wipe the slate clean and move forward. If it
is a child, spouse or other loved one, forgiveness
will bring you closer together. Everyone wants a second chance.
While being truly selfish is not a virtue, the benefits that paradoxically
come to you when you forgive the wrongs and mistakes of others are of great self benefit.
Powerful words! Thanks for your comment on my blog.

Hi Zingtrial, thanks for dropping by.
Nice blog you have, and good posting.
Allow me to add my 15 cents worth…
Laugh when you can, apologise when you should, and let go of what you can’t change.
Play hard, forgive quickly, take chances.
Give everything and have no regrets.
Life’s too short to be anything but happy.
Live your life with no excuses, love with no regrets. Best regards, Lee.
ps, please forgive me this enquiry, but you a male or female. Nowhere could I find your status or country.

Forgiveness is so necessary, because offences will come to us all. Three of the greatest words we can say are “I forgive you.” Two of the greatest words are “I’m sorry.” I’m sure all of us could experience a lot more peace in our lives by making these a regular part of our vocabulary. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
