| How do I forgive someone that has done me wrong? What is the difference between forgetting and forgiveness? If I still remember, have I forgiven? Our problem in forgiving is being able to forget. When someone does you wrong...no matter what direction you go as a human being..that memory will always be there. If you bite my ear off, every time I look in the mirror I will see it. There is no way I can forget what happened! Forgiveness begins here: Don't take it personal when someone does you wrong. We are in a imperfect world. The wrong that was done is a part of that persons life. The fact is...what they did to you, they will do to someone else and the next person, sometimes gets even! Remember that we reap what we sow and people that harm others, one day, self-destruct! Don't take it personal what was done to you. Next: Build self confidence. Don't let what others have done to you destroy your belief in yourself! Also, forgive yourself of the self inflicted wounds that you did to yourself. Associate with people that believe in you... Those that don't believe in you don't count in this area of your life. Where do you put people that don't believe in you...on your prayer list! Building self confidence is your thing...its no place for others opinions! Do you let people run in and out of your bedroom? Does your home belong to the whole neighborhood? There are certain areas of your mental, emotional and spiritual life that does not belong to others. There are certain parts of your life that you make public and other parts that are private. Even friends and family become intruders from time to time! Do not feel obligated to everyone. You have a right to voice where you stand on certain issues. Just be sure you live by the same rules that you lay down for others! Forgiveness is: There may be times when someone does owe another an apology. I am talking about you doing your best to forgive. When you show signs that you are moving on regardless of others...that's forgiveness. Forgiveness does not demand a heroic act. Just turn loose and move on! Forgiveness will take care of itself. On your part...there is no dealing with an angry person! People get angry with you because you did not let them play their games on you. When they humiliate themselves because of what they tried on you (that failed)... Move on without them... You don't need the situation! Being able to remember has nothing to do with forgiveness. Casting your sins as far as the east is to the west is not in your human ability. Forgetting and forgiveness is 2 different things. Forgiveness is turning loose and going forward! As long as your making an issue out of the wrong done to you...you have not forgiven! You did not do the wrong thing...don't touch it! Leave it be! When mud is thrown on you, don't rub it in. Let it dry, shake it off and dust it off! |
