Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself. - Suzanne Somers

(I’m not a guru, I'm not an expert but here is my answer to the following question...)

 QUESTION
"Why is it difficult to forgive?" 

  ANSWER

 Depending on where you are coming from..

…because you have not yet found it in yourself to love.. again
…because you still need time to heal
…because you feel the need to resist, resent and revenge
…because you still feel the pain
…because you feel it isn’t time
…because you are being enveloped with fear
…because you are scared

And until you forgive, you will forever be under the power of that person who hurt you.

Until you forgive, your path won’t be clear.
Until you forgive, you won’t find joy in your heart.
Until you forgive, it is hard to bless and be blessed.

Hard as it is, let us turn to Jesus. Let us learn from his mercy and love.

...and as we do that let us give ourselves the favor of forgiving ourselves first so we can be free.

NAMASTE.



BE BLESSED!

    no hay de nada que perdonar ? but I will always say perdoname perdoname . That word Perdoname it means forgive me in spanish . To forgive is to let go and to let go is to forgive . We are only human, to forgive is divine . Sometimes it's hard to forgive but the greatest healer is time . Let the wounds be healed and the forgiveness will follow although it has scars to remind you of the hurt and the pain but it will remind you to be divine .

    Perhaps forgiveness is one of the most difficult thing to give especially if you have been hurt before. But how nice the feeling will be once you forget everything and forgive the people who did bad things to you!

    Forgiveness is a humble act that we can do to ourselves as well as to the person who hurts us. The pain and ill-feeling will be healed when we forgive. Let God be our inspiration to forgive and start a new life. I'm happy to have this post. Thanks.

    True forgiveness will free you up of heavy loads and will eventually receive more blessings. Ask God to help you forgive if need to do so. Nice post!

I do what I do

Writing is my outlet! I have been doing this since Grade 4. When I’ve written what I have in mind, I would sleep really well and would move on.  So, it’s like a therapy to me! Lol! http://gemsdaily.blogspot.com I love writing, I love the process of unfolding, unraveling, cocooning, De-boning as I put the exact words in my piece.. Kind of like a puzzle... Almost there, but not quite... yet! I know I am involved in the process of becoming as I continue to write, as I continue to grow, yearn and learn. I am still challenging myself to be so much more, do so much more and make my dreams come true for myself and for my family.  I look forward to have us all achieve our grandest desires for ourselves and our loved ones.  My mission is to continuously inspire, encourage and motivate myself and hopefully – you! (if by chance you read this) to just get out of our shells and be, do and have more in life.  To BE MORE, D...

Learning Life's Lessons!

I heard or read somewhere that life will continue to give us lessons until we learn it. Two weeks after graduating from college, I was already teaching college students.    I was so idealistic, perfectionist and wouldn’t tolerate students who were cheating, talking while I was teaching and not doing their work. Ye s , I was really strict! Many of my former students would attest to that! The thing was even if I knew I needed to change, I continued on doing what I was doing because I was afraid if I lost my control, if I became friendly and acted my age (I was just 20 then!, some of my students were even older than me!), I felt my students wouldn’t respect me and may took advantage of my kindness. So I continued on with my demeanor; I pushed my students to meet my expectations! I abhorred cheating, if they did so (I was good at finding out; because all our activities were computerized), the next day they would find their names written in bold caps posted in t...
