Reminders For Amber #6 - Be Forgiving

Imagine a life devoid of forgiveness.  It would be a constant battle of revenge and retaliation.  It would be a life without peace, or rest, or joy.  It would be not worth living.

People will hurt you, and in turn, you will say words or do things that could hurt others.  But what keeps you going is the love and forgiveness that you give and get.  It is not easy to forgive.  It takes even greater courage to admit what you did wrong and ask for forgiveness.  But you will become a better person for it. Forgiving is not for the weak.  But you must do this to be able to move on and have peace in your life.

When you hold grudges, you imprison yourself in pain and suffering.  When you forgive, you free yourself and allow yourself to grow.  Learn from the bad things that happened in your past but let go of the bad feelings to move forward in your future.

Forgive others but also, learn first and foremost to forgive yourself.
