Forgiveness Forces Us to Grow Beyond What We were

Life is full of forgiveness..


 




"Forgiveness is the healing of wounds caused by another.  You chose to
let go of a past wrong and no longer be hurt by it.  Forgiveness is a strong
move to make, like turning your shoulders sideways to walk quickly on a 
crowded sidewalk. It's your move!" - a Preacher says.

We have to forgive ourself first then we can forgive others.

Forgiveness does not come easy for most of us. Our natural instinct is to 
recoil in self protection when we've been injured. We don't naturally over 
flow with mercy, grace and forgiveness when we've been wronged.
..it is very difficult to be to forgive..

It does not always lead to a healed relationship. Some people are not 
capable of love, and it might be wise to let them go along with your anger,
wish them well , and let them go their way.

-- Collosians 3 : 13 
Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have 
against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you." --

I believe forgiveness is a choice to make through a decision of our will,
motivated by obedience to GOD and His command to forgive.  
It really doesn't matter if the person who hurt us deserve to be forgiven.
Because forgiveness is a gift that we give to ourself..
No one forgives with more grace and love than a child! The Bible say.

 
I have found that prayer is one of the best ways to break down the wall of 
unforgiveness in my heart. When I begin to pray for the person who 
has wronged me, when I felt difficulty of giving an apology, he should not 
getting the right sorry from me...God gives me new eyes to see and a new 
heart to care for that person. As I pray, I start to see that person as God 
sees them, and I realize that he or she is precious to the Lord. I also see 
myself in a new light, just as guilty of sin and failure as the other person.
I am to in need of forgiveness. If God did not withhold His forgiveness 
from me, why should I withhold my forgiveness from another?  

Anyone who has ever been victimized—and that includes survivors 
of crime, accidents, childhood abuse, political imprisonment, warfare,
and so on—must decide whether or not to forgive the perpetrator.
There can be no middle ground to this decision: either we decide to
forgive the person who hurt us, or we hold on to bitterness and anger.

Forgiveness, however, can be a problem for many people,  it could
be difficult too for some of us, because they are not clear about what 

forgiveness really is. All too often forgiveness gets confused with 

reconciliation, a larger process of which forgiveness is but one part.
And all too often, reconciliation fails...
So what does that do to our ability to forgive?

Reconciliation itself does not possible unless we are willing to forgive

and the other person apologizes and "makes it up" to us ..
While, many people just give an apology on the lips, we never know 
the contents of their hearts! 

When we have not yet been able to forgive, we have our personality

stunted, and did not growing. We have chosen not to develop ourself 

by reason of the ego. But, in the other side, when we start being able 

to forgive,  we are training ourselves to become a tough person, who

always have a positive thoughts, that is always open to any problem, 

always use caution rather than emotional side, and no grudge in their

heart. All clean, he gave apologies with sincere..

Forgiveness is a choice we make through a decision of our will,
motivated by obedience to GOD, and HIS command to forgive. 

Since forgiveness goes against our nature, we must forgive by faith, 

whether we feel like it or not. We must trust God to do the work in
us that needs to be done, so that the forgiveness will be complete. 

I believe God honors our commitment to obey Him and our desire to 

please him when we choose to forgive. He completes the work in His 

time. We must continue to forgive (our job), by faith, until the work 

of forgiveness (the Lord's job), is done in our hearts. 

-- Philippians 1:6
And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, 
will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when 
Christ Jesus returns --

We are to forgive so that we may enjoy God's goodness without
feeling the weight of anger burning deep within our hearts. Forgiveness
does not mean we recant the fact that what happened to us was wrong.
Instead, we roll our burdens onto the Lord and allow Him to carry them
for us.

Nothing in the Christian life is more important than forgiveness, our
forgiveness of others, and GOD forgiveness of us. Forgiveness does not
change the past, but it does enlarge the future. To be forgiven is such
sweetness that honey is tasteless in comparison with it. But yet there is
one thing sweeter still, and that is to forgive. As it is more blessed to
give than to receive, so to forgive rises a stage higher in experience than
to be forgiven.

There is no love without forgiveness, and there is forgiveness without
love. To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return, you
will receive untold peace and happiness. Sincere forgiveness isn't colored
with expectations that the other person apologize or change. Don't worry

whether  or not they finally understand us. Love them and release them.

Life feeds back truth to people in its way and time.

If we have not received apology from someone, do not be disappointed,

and never avenge their actions, but keep acting wise, show your affection 

to him, and be patient. Bring him/her in our prayer, and tell HIM with loving

words, and pass on our apology to HIM, and let HIM do and completed 
everything.

..Then we're prepared for being a beneficial for a human beings. There is 
no revenge so complete as forgiveness.

Pray for you now, to forgive and forget ...
