I rejoice in the awareness that true forgiveness is the noblest of acts, requiring great wisdom, spiritual strength and an intuitive understanding of human emotions. Many refuse forgiveness associating it with weakness, losing or giving in. It is actually one of the strongest gifts we can give that creates the most impact for ourself and others.
Gandhi said "The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is an attribute of the strong." Forgiveness defies what we would do with our head. It is an act of the heart, reflecting the infinite love and compassion of our spirit.
Instead of identifying ourselves with our past injustice we are free to rewrite the story of who we are. It allows us to dispel the darkness that is emotionally crippling us and embrace fuller, richer more abundant relationships.
What is burning inside you right now....eating you up from the inside out? Amazing how the light of forgiveness offers a new beginning. How many times does God forgive us? Countless times. How are we directed to forgive 70 X 7 times or more? Think of how the world we do life in would be if we offered even a quarter of that Grace to those we our in relationship with or encounter.
