Most
of us carry around anger, resentment, jealousy, or some other negative
emotion directed to others. Unless dealt with, they will eventually
start to broadly affect the quality of our lives and those around us.
Forgiveness
is the act of unchaining yourself from thoughts and feelings that bind
you to an offense, imagined or real, committed against you. It is a
commitment to a process of growth and change. The first step is to
recognize the value of forgiveness and the positive impact it can have
in our lives. When we forgive, we release the control and power of the
offending person and stop playing the victim. We no longer define our
lives by how we have been hurt and instead can define ourselves by how
we have grown.
Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you to grow beyond what you were.
~ Cherie Carter-Scott
To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you ~ Lewis B. Smedes
Forgiveness is a gift that allows us to grow and move forward living life in our own integrity. This video is beautiful. I intend to share this far and wide.
Thankyou for this gift today.
