Forgiveness

An important attribute of a person is their memories. The ability to remember events, words, people encounters, and fragrances is so essential,that when lost, we conclude that the individual will be unable to live to their full potential. As important as making new memories is to our lives, deleting the ones that serve as garbage to our minds, is of great necessity.

I used to be a walking encyclopedia for the harms done to me. It was a prized possession, it gave me enough reasons to cry when I felt down, enough reasons that I had every right to be pitied and given attention. In my head I was like, “you don’t know what they’ve done to me” but the truth was that I did not know the damage I was doing to myself.

The Lord’s prayers says;

“...and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us…”

Imagine yourself as a phone with 64GB of storage. You would agree with me when the storage is full, the phone becomes: 

• Slow

• Overheats

• Cannot accommodate new and important information.

The same goes for your mind, you have to clear off those painful memories of what people have done to you and what you have done to yourself. This enables us to live a pure, clean, and  productive life.

The Forgiveness Process.

 I suggest you get a book and paper

• Write a list of people that have offended you and the offense.

• Understand the effect of letting go.

• Decide to let it go and cancel out each offense on the paper.

Benefits of Forgiveness

• It detoxifies your soul .

• It changes your outlook on life.

• It renews your mind and opens you up to new possibilities.

• Lastly, and most importantly God would forgive you too.

If God keeps forgiving people like you and me, is that offender not worth it too?
