Forgiveness Brings Lightness To The Heart

Forgiveness can be one of the most difficult challenges we face in life, especially for those of us who have been horribly wronged. But the angels say that we cannot move forward with anger or hatred in our heart. Only when we can truly forgive and let go of our past, will we reap the rewards of the future. Blessings come once we let go of the things that are holding us back.

When you struggle with forgiveness, it helps to remind yourself that God, the Divine, Source, Spirit, the Universe, always forgives us, no matter what we do. And our angels never leave our side. They do shake their heads at times, but they are right there through each life choice and every step we take, no matter what.

When we are in a place of unforgiveness, we must choose to look at life in a different way. What good is it to hold onto anger and resentment towards someone who has wronged you? It is usually not affecting them in any way, and it is also not serving you. All it really does is hold you back from moving forward and living your best life.

Your past, both the good and bad, provided you with life lessons, and if you truly consider what you have been through, and the growth and wisdom gained from those experiences, you will appreciate the lessons learned, and never repeat them. Life lessons empower us to move forward in a healthy way and not repeat the mistakes of the past.

You can’t forgive without loving. And I don’t mean sentimentality. I don’t mean mush. I mean having enough courage to stand up and say, ‘I forgive. I’m finished with it ~ Maya Angelou

Forgiveness is often necessary to achieve this. You must release the negativity from your soul, or it will just bring you to a dark place in life. And once you go down that rabbit hole, it’s hard to get out of it. Forgiveness is not a kindness you bestow on others, it is a gift you give to yourself.

Your past provides you with answers and solutions to move forward. What can you do differently? How can you choose differently in future? What should you avoid? What do you still need to work on? What can you change to bring you to a higher level of unconditional love and inner peace?

Forgiveness requires serious self-reflection and self-analysis. When you fill your life with only loving energies, thoughts and movements, your life will change for the better.

I think the first step is to understand that forgiveness does not exonerate the perpetrator. Forgiveness liberates the victim. It’s a gift you give yourself ~ T. D. Jakes

Take time also to forgive yourself. Forgive yourself for all the negative things you hold on to, that keep you from truly living your best live at your highest level. Forgive yourself for poor choices and lack of judgment in the past. You learned your lessons, now move forward.

And remember that your angels are always there to guide you. Talk to them. Ask them for their support and guidance. They are always listening, even if no one else is. Put your burdens into their gracious hands, and feel the healing it brings to your body, mind and soul. Ask the angels to help you forgive those who have wronged you, and feel the lightness it brings to your heart.
