Are there things that are beyond forgiveness?
Is there a limit to what you can pardon?
Life is long, and you might experience more than one injustice. Its sad how that we carry a lot of grudges, anger, hurt and emotional wounds from heartbreak, insults, abuse,failure, rejection and tragedy. Healing from this emotion pain and Forgiveness is not an option but its a requirement for living a happy life.
Ultimately, the question of forgiveness is not a question of whether forgiveness is possible but a question of how we can find the grace to offer forgiveness to the offender and also forgive ourselves.
What is forgiveness?
Forgiveness does not just remove all the consequences of wrong behaviour. forgiveness does not rebuild trust. Forgiveness does not destroy memories. Forgiveness does not always result in reconciliation. But rather forgiveness allows you to let go of pain and continue with a lighter hear.
Forgetting is something that time alone takes care of, but forgiveness is an act of volition and only the sufferer is qualified to make the decision.
Holding onto resentment can sour you and keep you from finding peace. When you can't forgive your emotional wounds can't close and heal.
Most often we tend to think that our hatred of our enemies is justified because we can point their flaws and crimes and would say if i was in their shoes things would be different but history tell a different story. Hatred no matter how justifiable, simply fuels the endless cycle of revenge.
In conclusion, the message of love and forgiveness is not rooted in a naive optimism but in the grace that takes the blame, covers the shame and removes the stain and the endless cycle of revenge.
Loving and forgiving our enemies is how we change the world.
