How can these two words, love and forgiveness change your whole perspective on life? Little do we all realise that must put our trust in something bigger than ourselves. We may call it God, Spirit, Buddha, Jesus, whatever our faith is, trust that they have a bigger plan than our everyday troubles. Love and Forgiveness are the two most important lessons we learn. But how do you get to the Love part if you have hatred in your heart? Forgive. It sounds so simple and yet it can be the most difficult and complex thing that we can do in this lifetime.
You were wronged or someone betrayed you, how can you let that go? Forgive. Forgive and it will really set your heart free. Feel your anger, feel your sadness, feel whatever it is you need to get all those emotions out, write it down and then throw it away. Give yourself a certain timeframe in which you will no longer continue to go on with those emotions. Now comes the hard part, trying to convince yourself that the other person deserves to be forgiven. Every time this hurt comes into your heart, say to yourself "I forgive him/her for what they have done". Every time you start to go over the scenario, and start to get angry or sad, instead replace it with "I forgive him/her for what they have done". You might not believe what you are saying at first. But sending that message out into the universe will eventually help break the chain of black energy that links you together with an invisible line of hate. Trust me, it works! Hopefully it will hit one day if you really tried. You can let it go, the hate, the anger, the betrayal, how you were victimized and in a peaceful loving moment truly feel that forgiveness.
What does it feel like? Once you have set each other free, your heart feels lighter, you have an overwhelming feeling of peace. You suddenly understand it all, the reason you are here, the lessons that you need to learn while on this earth plane. You will never be the same, because in every circumstance you can begin to feel compassion, humility and gratitude toward your fellow travelers here on earth. You can LOVE again. You are a radiant being moving forward in life.
Afterall, even Dumbledore from the famous Harry Potter series says this particular line to Harry “If there is one thing Voldemort cannot understand, it is love. He didn't realize that love as powerful as your mother's for you leaves it own mark. Not a scar, no visible sign . . . to have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever. It is in your very skin.”
I can never forget these lines which rings in my head over and again every now and then! It makes me realise what it means to love and be loved. Not just your partner but, your family, friends, pets and even enemies because the only things I personally feel that will change a person is not imprisonment or physical punishment but, Love and Forgiveness. It kills them. It sends so much amount of guilt and agony that they change. Change for the good! It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.
