The Gift Of Forgiveness...

SUPER INSPIRED BLOG"To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you."
~ Lewis B. Smedes
Most of us carry around anger, resentment, jealousy, or some other negative emotion directed to others.  Some of these have been around for years or are directed towards someone no longer in your life.  All those negative emotions hang around your neck and weigh you down.  Unless dealt with, they will eventually start to broadly affect the quality of your life and that of those around you.  Love, Compassion and the rest of the higher vibrational emotions are constrained by the baser ones.  We cannot fly if we are chained down.
"When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free."
~ Catherine Ponder
SUPER INSPIRED BLOGIt is easy to identify the big heavy chains from major emotional traumas in our lives. What is less easy to see is how the fine threads of everyday frustrations join together like strands in a rope.  Forgiveness is the act of unchaining yourself from thoughts and feelings that bind you to an offense, imagined or real, committed against you.  It is a commitment to a process of growth and change.  Forgiveness is a creative act.  It changes us from prisoners of the past.  We become liberated people at peace with our memories.  There is no future in the past.  The first step is to recognize the value of forgiveness and the positive impact it can have in our lives.  When we forgive, we release the control and power of the offending person and stop playing the victim.  We no longer define our lives by how we have been hurt and instead can define ourselves by how we have grown.
"Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you to grow beyond what you were. "

Life either expands or contracts in direct proportion to your courage to forgive.  Forgiveness is the most important single process that brings peace and harmony to our life.  Forgiveness has two parts.  The smaller part is to release others.  The greater part is to release yourself for allowing yourself to be bound to negative emotions.
Only when we unchain ourselves can we fly.
"To err is human, to forgive divine."
~ William Shakespeare

Forgiveness is not only a gift we give to others.
Forgiveness is a gift we give to ourselves.

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

Arch Bishop Benson A. Idahosa. (A God's General The World Wil Never Forget.)

Nigeria is the home of several notable men of God, but I do believe that none has made such an international impact as the late Benson Andrew Idahosa affectionately called PAPA or BA by his followers. Idahosa was a Charismatic Pentecostal preacher, and founder of the Church of God Mission International with headquarters in Benin City, Nigeria. He was the first Pentecostal Archbishop in Nigeria, and is often referred to as the father of Pentecostalism and televangelism in Nigeria. Benson Andrew Idahosa was born in Edo State on September 11, 1938 of poor non-Christian parents in a predominantly non-Christian

NICK VUJICIC. (NO ARMS NO LEGS). AN INSPIRING STORY.

Hi Friend, My name is Nick Vujicic and I am thankful to have been born 30 years ago with no arms and no legs. I won’t pretend my life is easy, but through the love of my parents, loved ones, and faith in God, I have overcome my adversity and my life is now filled with joy and purpose. I reside now in California with my wife, Kanae, and we both love seeing people’s lives changed for the better or touched in some way. It is my hope that your life is positively impacted by my story. I was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, and it was a shock to my parents that I arrived without limbs. There is no medical reason for it. My parents did their very best to keep me in the mainstream school system and give me every opportunity to live to the fullest. I was blessed to have a brother and a sister as my best friends too.
