Consequently, forgiveness based on an adequate and rightful comprehension of what is really going on, disappears from the emotional map of conscience and behavior.
And hatred and violence sprout everywhere, breaking into un-piece able fragments all alternatives or opportunities for unselfish love and mutual support and understanding.
This is the subject of the following message. Let´s consider it, make it our own and meditate on it, hopefully leading ourselves to the necessary changes of beliefs, convictions and behavior!
FORGIVENESS
Forgiveness is an expression of love. Forgiveness liberates us breaking up the ties that embitters our soul and sickens our body.
It does not mean we agree with what happened, or that we approve it.
Forgiving does not mean minimizing what happened or accepting that the person who did hurt us had reasons to do it.
It simply means leaving behind those negative thoughts that caused us pain or anger.
Forgiveness is based upon the acceptance of what happened.
The lack of forgiveness keeps us tied to the people by way of resentment. It keeps us chained to it.
The lack of forgiveness is the deadliest poison for the spirit because it neutralizes our emotional resources.
Forgiving is proclaiming that we can do it and we must renew this decision every day that passes.
Very often we are the most important person we have to forgive because of the many things that weren´t as we thought they should be and anyway we did them.
The forgiving declaration is the key for our inner liberation.
How many people do we resent because of what they did to us? Who are those we believe we won´t be able to forgive?
Are we infallible and it is for this reason only that we can´t forgive other people´ mistakes or misdeeds?
Let´s forgive so we can be forgiven! Remember that we will be measured the same way we measure others and find them lacking!
