Judge not, and ye shall not be judged:
condemn not and ye shall not be condemned:
Forgive and ye shall be forgiven.
Luke 6:35-38
I hear alot of people on a daily basis , tell stories of things that happen in their lives and how people have done them wrong. They would say "Well I forgave them but I wont ever forget it". Well, no of coarse you wont. We have a memory... one that stores things that have happened in our lives, as far back as we can remember. That's a given. The part that I think people have a hard time dealing with or understanding is that when we forgive , yes we remember, but forgiveness means letting go. It means releasing the anger , hurt and devestation that occured during the incident. If this does not occur then there is no forgiveness. Forgivness means to feel in your heart, that even though that person hurt you, you can put it aside and continue to love that person no matter what , it may not be the same as before but if that person were hungry you would feed them , If that person were dying, you would want to save them, if they need a hand to hold or a shoulder to cry on , you would be there . Letting go will empower you to no end. Its soooo christ like to be this way. If we can master this we can handle anything that comes our way in this life. I have finally learned to do this and I am so proud of myself. People are really born good. We are loving and caring people. How could we not be... we are from God. Go back to those roots. I have been hurt bad by some people in my recent days , but you know what ? I still love them . And whats even stranger my love didnt change . To this day I would be there for them till the end , no matter what they do. I do this because I have learned to love unconditionally . Forgiveness and unconditional love go hand in hand . Think about it. How can you forgive without unconditional love? It will not happen. So the next time someone says or does something to hurt you , feel the pain , grasp it, and deal with it.... and then let it go. Walk up to the person that wronged you , say I forgive you and mean it. Release that anger and fear and keep your heart open never allowing it to consume you. No Pitty parties. And I am a witness by God that you will feel a power that you have never experienced in your life before. I have experienced it. DQ
