Life has been good to me lately but I seem to have settled for what was comfortable and I never really pushed to anything further than that. I feel as though I had been caught up in a cloud of unforgivenss and I was afraid to let go because I lied to myelf I had forgiven them meanwhile I didn't. Taking the first step of forgiveness changed my heart, my lifestyle and my thoughts.
Forgiveness isn't just you forgiving others,but you asking for forgiveness plays an important role as well. You basically holding on to something that slowly feeds on your flesh, next thing its too late to let go. Funny thing about unforgiveness; it does not bother the next party or the situation but its takes your peace away. The next person might have let go years ago and they are living happily but for some reason you feel like you controlling their emotions meanwhile you are traumatizing yourself.
I forgave and asked for forgiveness from anyone I hurt or was hurting. I put people that hurt me in balloons and situations that I seem to never forget, my ex boyfriends and much more. I took this balloon and I sent it off into the air. As I saw it fly up, I realized it has disappeared; there is no way I get it back. After all thus, I walk away. I let go!! The feeling after walking away and not looking back gave me more light in my life and things became more clearly, I was able to love others and make better decisions not based on emotions I had been containing.
When I encounter these people again, I won't treat them the same way I did before, because one thing that clouds unforgiveness is love.
My thoughts, lifestyle and heart is now driven by one thing and that's love. Unforgiveness is an ugly monster that keeps you away from people but love draws you closer to people to care for them and pray for them. Being able to forgive have given me the confidence to ask for forgiveness for the most petty things from people and the most amazing thing is, I do it immediately.
Let go and leave your arms open for more blessings.
