Forgive and Forget

Your boyfriend has cheated on you...A co-worker stole your ideas for a big project... Somebody has hurt you and you cannot forget it even if it happened a long time ago. You are undeserving of the hurt and thus it remains deeply impressed in your mind where it feeds on resentment and eventually grows in pain.. YOur mind shouts out revenge, to show the world, especially those who have wronged you that you can stand up and fight back.

Halt!!! Before you go on, you should think twice. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. You are not the only person who has been hurt. We are living in a world where even the kindest people hurt each other. But we have to accept one fact: that we have to learn to FORGIVE.

It's not easy to forgive. It never was. But we have to.... We may not be able to do so at first, but sooner or later we have to face the reality that only ONE power can stop the stream of painful memories. And that is our ability to forgive.

According to John Gray, author of Practical Miracles for Mars and Venus, every action does have their own consequences, but at the same time, no one deserves punishment. One of the practical implications of forgiveness is the letting go of our need to punish. Loving forgiveness does not give others permission to abuse us, treat us like doormats or run over us, but instead, it frees us to correcct a situation with love, and the intent to nurture rather than to hurt back or punish.

We should also know that forgiving brings us a miraculous kind of healing. When we forgive an injustice, we begin to attract more justice. As we learn to forgive, we tend to attract better situations. forgiveness of others frees us from holding on the the pain that another has caused us.

Let go of the hurt to help you walk the road to forgiveness. We must first acknowledge what happened, face up to the person concerned and say " You did me wrong". We should learn to separate the wrongdoer from his deed. As the say, be angry at the deed and not the doer.

Now, learn to let go of the past. Quit holding on to your hurt. Release the painful memories and emotions and it will free you as well. Free to start again and make the best out of what happened and move on.

When we forgive, we are healed of the hurt, released from the influence of the past, thus, we could create something new out of past pain.

Having forgiven, we now let go of the hurt and pretty soon, we forget. Forgetting is a sign of good health - - we can forget because we have been miraculously healed by the power of FORGIVENESS!!!
