The Power Of Forgiving

I forgive people. I don't hold grudges. I'm not envious. I don't harbor resent. I don't covet. I feel free in my soul because I have learned to forgive everyone. You can say anything about me and I'll forgive you. I won't think less of you if you say bad things about me. I'm too busy living my life to worry about what you said about me or how you feel about me. In fact, I would probably want you to be my friend if you said bad things about me - it shows you have a spine. I like that. Hey, I know who I am. Nothing anyone says or does can take that away from me. I made up my mind over 20 years ago after I read The Miracle Of Forgiveness that I would forgive everyone for everything. It has really worked out for me. If you haven't done so already, start forgiving people and give your soul some peace.

I seem to have a natural gift of forgiving...Either that or i just have emotional ADD and cant remember what the offense was after 2 months. haha. I cant hold a grudge, either....

Who am I to not extend mercy when I'm so in need of it myself? Yup--a life of forgiving feels a lot better than one clouded up with the junk of grudges and the like.

Hey Jon--your hair is too blonde!!! (there--I said something mean about you. Will you forgive me and like me more now :) ?!)
