Important things to remember about forgiveness!
- Forgiveness is a decision to let go of resentment and thoughts of revenge.
- Forgiveness can lead to feelings of understanding, empathy and compassion for the person who hurt you.
- Forgiveness does not mean:
- You deny the other persons responsibility for hurting you.
- You minimize or justify the wrong done to you.
- You can forgive the person without excusing the act that took place in your life.
- Forgiveness......
- Brings peace
- Lead to healthier relationships
- Bring spiritual well being
- Means less stress & hostility
- Lowers blood pressure
- When you forgive you have fewer symptoms of
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Chronic Pain
- Forgiveness lowers risk of alcohol and substance abuse
- As long as you have unforgivness:
- You cannot be the woman God destined you to be.
- The person you have not forgiven still hold you captive and you are a slave to them.
- Ask God to give you the courage and the strength to forgive.
- Forgiveness is a choice not a feeling.
- When you forgive you no longer make the offender pay for what they did to you.
- Even if the person never admits to the wrong they did you must forgive.
- Forgiveness is not for the offender, its for you and your relationship with the father.
