forgive and forget..

Forgiveness is a gift you give to yourself. It is not as much something you do for someone else.

 

Forgiveness challenges you to give up your destructive thoughts about the situation and to believe in the possibility of a better future.

 

Forgiveness builds confidence that you can survive the pain and grow from it.

 

Forgiveness is an act of the imagination. It dares you to imagine a better future, one that is based on the blessed possibility that your hurt will not be the final word on the matter.

 

Choice is always present in Forgiveness.

 

You do not have to Forgive but there are consequences to that:

 

Refusing to Forgive by holding on to the anger, resentment and a sense of betrayal can make your own life miserable.

 

A vindictive mind-set creates bitterness and allows the betrayer to claim one more victim.

 

Best summarized by Mahatma Gandhi:

"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong."

 

To Forgive is a Divine act.
