Power of Forgiveness

Good Morning, I hope everyone is having a Great Holiday weekend. Fall seems like it has come quick after such a hot summer. I heard a quote this week, "Forgive others Not because they Deserve Forgiveness, but because You Deserve Peace." Forgiveness is a two-way street... It is Not Disregarding or Minimizing the potential Hurt. It is Not a Sign of Weakness. It Means, when it's done it's done, carrying around Our Hurt only makes it Hurt Longer and Deeper. Forgiving is Not Excusing the Wrong it is letting go of the Burden. The more we hold on to resentment of any kind, the more it builds up... The heavier it becomes. Forgiveness is a Gift to YOU! We are also All very far from Perfect... We Will make Mistakes, and We will Need Mercy! We Need to Forgive so we will be Forgiven. I hope everyone has a Great week! I Pray, You can Forgive and are granted Forgiveness "The First to Forgive is Strongest, the First to Forget is Happiest"... JITIY
