“Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on a heel that has crushed it.”   -Mark Twain

LOVING SOULS OF TENDERNESS

Life is beautiful, graceful, marvelous but at times difficult and hurtful. There are moments when we go through harsh and painful situations. We feel wrong things are done to us, something negative said or a hurtful event against us and start to have feelings of hurtfulness and resentment.

These are the moments when we need to remember that we are a loving soul of tenderness and kindness and our thoughts are soft and tender and there is no need for any emotional turmoil.  Our mind and heart need peacefulness and the ability to share our beauty and light with all.

NEGATIVE ENERGY, FEAR, IGNORANCE

What are you doing when words, thoughts or actions of others have been allowed to cause you pain, especially those coming from those we love.
Will you allow them to turn into positive energy? Or you going to hold on to grudges and feel bitter angry and resentment?

As I look back in my own life, I recall wrongs and injustices done to me, things that others said and did that were allowed to cause sorrow. I decided to discover better choices, shifting to the loving and forgiving capacity of the heart. I remember telling myself, if I could not forgive those for their wrongdoings how could I expect others to forgive me for the wrongs that I have done?

All negative actions come out of fear, insecurity and ignorance. When people harm us with their words and actions, they are acting out of insecurity; out of a low level of consciousness. “They know not what they do.” As we grow into a higher level of consciousness, we understand that, and we forgive. Christ forgave those who killed him, and he even prayed for them.

PEACEFULNESS AND MERCY

GIVING OURSELVES PERMISSION TO FEEL AT PEACE WITH OUR PAST ACTIONS IS ONE OF THE MOST POSITIVE STEPS WE CAN TAKE TOWARD LIVING FREE FROM REGRETS, DISAPPOINTMENTS, AND GUILT.

The more we can remind ourselves that the true path to a peaceful mind and heart is through acceptance;  of every part of our lives, the more harmony and inner joy we will experience in all aspects.

Forgiveness is related to Mercy, which is an attribute of God. We all deserve mercy including the offenders of wrongdoing. Mercifulness allows us to be present to our own sufferings and as well to the suffering of others. Engaging in the spiritual work of forgiveness brings inner peace to ourselves and others.

FORGIVENESS AND LOVE

Forgiveness is done in the sake of love and allows love to flow from one to another. When we forgive, we let our heart be free from the bitterness that harbors unforgiveness and weights us down.

Forgiveness is not erasing of the wrong that was done but a conscious choice of eliminating inner protest and feelings of betrayal that could be still flowing within. Each time I forgive someone, I don’t excuse someone’s wrong doing but simply bring self-mercy to myself which reflects my own self-love.

Let us remember that when it comes to forgiveness, the choice belongs to our heart and not the mind. The healing balm of forgiveness will always bring inner-peace and harmony.

Forgiveness is a like a well that we can draw holy water to wash others with purity, an aura of holiness and sacredness all around us and within us.
Inhale the fragrance of forgiveness, allow its healing balm to fill your heart because you deserve the benefits of peace, self-mercy and love.
