Forgiveness is what God gave to the human race when we were too blind to see his glory here on earth. He was wise enough to see above selfish pain, grudges or
vengence and He gave us a glorious example of the love and forgiveness.
When someoneone is wronged or betrayed, they suffer emotional wounds which can give feelings such as anger, guilt, rage, resentment, or shame. Forgiving a wrong or betrayal is a process of emotional healing where such painful feelings are worked
through and ultimately resolved. Forgiving for the sake of our own inner healing and well being is important. forgiveness is beautiful.

Forgiving happens inside the person who does it. Forgiving welcomes but does not depend upon the apology of the the one who you have been injured by.

We can forgive in our hearts before we ever say the words “I forgive.” it does not matter if you choose to express forgiveness directly to the one who has injured
you,because you will feel it deeply either way.Give it a try, forgive someone who has wronged you or forgive yourself for the wrong you have done.

Some of the most beautiful relationships and moments are born of forgiveness and after all we are all just human beings who sin and and make mistakes.

good luck and success in the self forgiveness and that of others!

P.S. Please post your comments about this article below

Suddenly the issues of sex and boundaries starts to arise, and teens find themselves having to choose sides on “hot button” topics like homosexuality and abortion. There is a lot of growing to do in all aspects of relationships, and having Biblical and Christian guidance is essential.

Its is very important for these young adults to find their own way to fit in with their peers while still keeping their morals, faith and self respect. I like to stay up on all the new styles of Christian music that appeal to our younger generation. I feel amazing when I can listen and respect these new christian artists and appreciate their music and relate to todays christian teens.

Whether you are a parent, grandparent, family member, friend…..open your mind and heart to these new albums and share it with a young person in your life and really make an impression. It is very possible you will fall in love with these new artists yourself and be opened to a new style and hip beat

Most average people look at 2007 as another year following 2006 and flowing steadily into 2008.That is a rather logical way to see time but unfortunatly will not give you the inspirational lift that can be found in symbolism. 2007 is symbolic of fresh new grass, without memory of past mistakes, soaked and dripping in the possibilities that an individual can create!

The new year can hold in its 365 days anything and everthing you have dreamed of. This year is one for new experiences, friendships, adventures and spirituality, leaving old baggage behind, forgiving and forgetting, building confidence, strengthing your body and faith, loving unconditionally, and anything else that you have always wanted but never obtained. Whatever your New Year’s resolution is, may it bring you joy and give you appreciation for the beauty of each day we walk on this earth.

This year I thought many times about suitable resolutions. There is always the famed “lose weight” resolution, or the equally overused “make more money”. These are both fine and practical resolutions that have their own allure but I realized that I needed something incredible and inspiring this year. I thought of many possible idea’s but none of them packed the emotional punch I was looking for.

Then as I sat there despairingly, it came to me…..
My New Years resolution is to marvel,envelope,surround and even wallow in the beauty of life and nature. I know it sounds strange or even silly, but listen, I will for the next year of my life make a concious effort to appreciate and find spiritual gratification from the simple and beautiful interworkings of each blessed day!

So I respectfully challenge you to find your own resolution that gives you the deepest feelings of empowerment and contentment. Please open yourself to something of importance that may have been hidden by other daily tasks and needs. I truly hope that my excitement is contageous to you and I am curious to find out what you have chosen to resolve this year.

Happy New Year and God Bless!

Even though I hug my blanket and moan when the alarm rings, I am so thankful, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf.

Even though I keep my eyes closed against the bright morning light as long as possible, I am so thankful that I can see. Many are blind.

Even though I huddle in my bed and and wait until the last minute to rise, I am so thankful, that I have the strength to rise. There are many who are bedridden.

Even though the first hour of my day is sometimes wild and hectic, when socks are lost, Breakfast is burned and tempers are short, I am so thankful, I have someone who loves me. There are many who are lonely.

Even though my breakfast table might never look like the pictures in magazines and the menu is sometimes less than gourmet,I am so thankful for the food I have. There are many who are hungry.

Even though the routine of my life seems monotonous, I am so thankful, for the opportunity to work. There are many who can not find a job.

Even though I grumble and complain of my fate at times and wish my circumstances were not so modest, I am truly thankful, for life.

This is how I felt this morning when I woke up and I looked around and realized that my life is a gift, we can always wish for more, but happiness lives when we appreciate and
are proud of who we are and what we have.

I am not a millionaire or a famous celebrity.

I have problems and heartaches and moments of insanity.

I also have a roof over my head, clothes on my back and at least one person on this earth that cares for me. I am so thankful, and it feels wondeful!

Take a moment today to count your blessings and give thanks for what you have overlooked. I know that someone has made my life possible and today I give thanks to Him.

Peace and love,
Constantin
