Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself. - Suzanne Somers

http://gemwritinggems.wordpress.com/




(I’m not a guru, I'm not an expert but here is my answer to the following question...)

 QUESTION
"Why is it difficult to forgive?" 

  ANSWER

 Depending on where you are coming from..

…because you have not yet found it in yourself to love.. again
…because you still need time to heal
…because you feel the need to resist, resent and revenge
…because you still feel the pain
…because you feel it isn’t time
…because you are being enveloped with fear
…because you are scared

And until you forgive, you will forever be under the power of that person who hurt you.

Until you forgive, your path won’t be clear.
Until you forgive, you won’t find joy in your heart.
Until you forgive, it is hard to bless and be blessed.

Hard as it is, let us turn to Jesus. Let us learn from his mercy and love.

...and as we do that let us give ourselves the favor of forgiving ourselves first so we can be free.

NAMASTE.



BE BLESSED!

    no hay de nada que perdonar ? but I will always say perdoname perdoname . That word Perdoname it means forgive me in spanish . To forgive is to let go and to let go is to forgive . We are only human, to forgive is divine . Sometimes it's hard to forgive but the greatest healer is time . Let the wounds be healed and the forgiveness will follow although it has scars to remind you of the hurt and the pain but it will remind you to be divine .

    Perhaps forgiveness is one of the most difficult thing to give especially if you have been hurt before. But how nice the feeling will be once you forget everything and forgive the people who did bad things to you!

    Forgiveness is a humble act that we can do to ourselves as well as to the person who hurts us. The pain and ill-feeling will be healed when we forgive. Let God be our inspiration to forgive and start a new life. I'm happy to have this post. Thanks.

    True forgiveness will free you up of heavy loads and will eventually receive more blessings. Ask God to help you forgive if need to do so. Nice post!

Redirecting Thoughts!

Sometimes, we forget to take control of our minds. There are times that we just do a lot of things out of habit. We do a lot of things unconsciously. These days, whenever I find myself “thinking”, I am making sure I am thinking productive things. What will I do next?; What are my plans today?;How will I go about today’s activities? If alone in the car, driving, I’d deliberately turn on the positive, encouraging radio station, since their kind of music is good for the soul. I could listen and know that it is all good. As much as possible, I try not to think of negative or bad things. Why? Because I’ve proven that whenever I do that, it boomerangs on me! There was this one time when I felt so pissed off with my husband that my mind was just creating all these negative vibes! Asked what happened next? The more my husband got pissed off. I wasn’t even saying anything, it was all mind power, and it hasn’t done any good! So I experimented the next time it happened, ins...

Overspeeding!!!

credit While driving, a police car passed me by, turned around and followed me. I slowed down.  credit It gave a warning for me to stop. I did.  I was running a lot of excuses in my mind but decided to put it all aside. I prayed instead - Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be. A police women came. "Hi!" I said, "Hello!" "Ok", she said, "I pulled you over, because you were running at 60mph in a 45 lane". I said "I'm sorry". She said "Now do you have driver's license, registration and insurance?" I said, "Yes". There was a pause (Oh, I guess, this was the time when I should have given her everything already), she repeated, "So, you do have your driver's license, registration and insurance?" I said, "Yes", and took out my driver's license.  She took it, and said, "so you've never been stopped before?" I said, ...
