I’m so pleased to have found your blog. I was trying to leave a comment on your more recent post about authentic relationships, but was not getting a “post a comment page”?
Anyway I like your blog!
Best wishes and thanks for sharing

Great article. If Jesus forgave those who killed him who are we to not forgive. We are humans and therefore we are imperfect so we do not have the right to not forgive because we all commit mistakes, some more then others but there mistakes at last.

Hey Bud, I absolutely agree with you. Forgiving is all about forgiving yourself first. I read a book on forgiveness last year and this was the biggest big idea I got from the topic of forgiveness. When we refuse to forgive, the person we are holding captive is really us. Thanks for a marvelous post!

Very wise words for all of us to remember. While it’s important to understand the past and use those experiences to improve ourselves and create a better life going forward, that progress can only happen when we release the pain and forgive.

Some of the greatest feelings of happiness root from forgiveness.

I forgave someone I’ve been close to my entire life and I think it was one of the best things I’ve ever done.

Hey Barbara (I followed your tweet to Miguel)(Miguel…go study)

I have never been to this blog. After going back and reading some of your past posts I can better relate to these amazing words. Forgiveness is so elusive. It is so true that my resenting someone else’s behavior or their successes diminishes us. Although we get a momentary sense of superiority when we judge them, we get no long-term benefits. Much is lost.

I know that forgiving others is hard. Why should we…especially when we feel harmed?

I can see from your above post that you have forgiven and you have seen that forgiveness accelerated your growth. I hope that this forgiveness gives you power to open doors and step into new, and inspiring circumstances.

You are so young to be so aware of your surroundings. What a person you are!
