Forgiveness is a gift to youself!

I know some people stuggle in this life to forgive and to let go of pain.
If only to those who struggle with this you could feel the peace and freedom of not carrying that pain of being wronged around with you.
I would that all could be free of holding bitterness in your beautiful hearts and taste the freedom of joy in your hearts to love and be loved again.
I felt to share this, I have walked the path of pain and felt the weight lifted when embraced forgiveness in my life. We all need this gift at sometime in our life to some greater or lesser degree.
We may feel that someone does not deserve our forgiveness but in not forgiving we constantly carry bitterness and pain around with us, so give yourself this gift...YOU deserve to free yourself of sadness which fllls your heart with sadness.
Godbless you all teddybear xxxxx

Hello Wallops, What a lovely post. Yes, Ive had alot of pain, and although I have forgiven as much as is humanely possible, I am still very hurt and pained. Does this mean I have not let go of the anger ? the sadness which is always just under the surface?
It is Wisdom that love and foregiveness is the path to happiness alongside compassion. Isnt that preached by Christians and other religions ? being a Christian I have read in the bible 'Forgive as I have forgiven you ' 'forgive us our trespassers etc' but if it is an ongoing thing, too personal to go into here... it can be very very hard, but of course you are right. thanks xheart wings
Hello. I agree!thumbs up
Maybe Wallops you could read my blog I wrote on this subject on 28thFeb. called "Forgiveness is the key to healing".teddybear
Wallops, First of all I want to welcome you to the blog. And then I am going to make it easy for you to find Minervas blog. Go on her profile, look at the right side, there is listed a lot of things, and it say My blog. There you can find the blog she is talking about... Good luck.
Or you can go on her latest blog from here and find it on the right side of your screen, or you can go on womans blog on the left side of your screen and there you should be able to find it. I wish you good luck and I hope you find it. hug teddybear hug
Welela, thank you so much for that. I found it yayYou are a star!!! What a great blog it was too. Had I seen it I needn't have written this. We are obviously singing from the same hymn book page!
Thank you for your welcome too. I have met some lovely people on here. wave
Hello Wallops. I am so glad that you managed to find the blog and that you liked ithug

Hope you have had a nice Sunday?

It´s lovely and warm here and I am enjoying my walks on the beach again after having spent so much time indoors after my accident.cheering dancing
Unforgiveness can lead to bitterness and hate, even revenge, all unpleasant fruits. Letting go means freeing yourself to love. Good blog! bouquet
Great advice and it's so truethumbs up wave
Lovely lovely blog...thank you Ms. Wallops!teddybear
I dont agree, forgiveness is overrated IMO. Some people dont deserve to be forgiven, that is like saying bad behaviour is ok.
I understand what you are saying, I simply dont agree.
Well, we are all different with different views sometimes it's not a case of right and wrong it is our own life experiences. I appreciate your honesty and whatever that we can be friends :)
By the way Glariol, I was in Dublins fair City last June for my sons wedding. My daughter in law is from there. We love her!! Lived Dublin too. So we do have things in common.hug
Am delighted you enjoyed your stay cheers
Forgiveness worked for me. It took me a long time but I finally let go.

One of the things that really helped is the love of my 3 kids and 3 grandkids. There are so many good things about our relationships that it would take me hours to list them all.
Ed, thanks for sharing that. I am so glad that you are now free to move on.
The letting go is hard. I actually don't find it hard to forgive but the letting go like you said is the hardest.

Yes, family are a treasure. I am so happy yours were there for you. Mine was for me too. They gave me a reason to get up on days I did not want to.

Godbless youteddybear
Hi Wallopswave Welcome to the blogs!handshake

Great blog!thumbs up Would like to add one thing. When Jesus was dying on the cross, He looked to heaven and said: "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do"! He is our example!thumbs up
GentlemanJim, thank you for the welcome. It is lovely here making new friends and sharing our thoughts. Glad you added what you did,I couldn't agree more. To me Jesus Christ is the whole key to our happiness. He is the centre of which my life is run by.

Hope you are enjoying great day laugh

Wallops, you are a lovely person. I am sure you have alot of friends and you have very few enemies, you speak your truth gently and with wisdom and yet, I found your blog so inspiring and it meant alot to me. I dont use Christianity as a crutch, i am just glad that I do believe, as with my lifes history of events, I wouldnt still be alive if it werenot for Jesus who died for me. xx
Wallops, you seem like an outstanding person. bouquet I wish we were neighbors. cheers
