Greetings!
Forgiveness is a therapy that we must all possess. A forgiving spirit is a free spirit that can never have any problem in life and the reason being that such a person would be free from malice and unnecessary anger which may be toxic to the person's system and structure.
Having talked extensively on the word forgiveness, I would like to delve into the topic of the prompt which is all about, “forgiveness.”
One thing , I would like to say and let everyone reading my content know that, we will always be offended and not only that, we also offend others as such is life. As humans, we are all bound to make mistakes as we are not perfect. It's only God our creator that's perfect.
So, for the above reason of our imperfections, there's no way we will not be offended and whenever we are being offended, one thing that should come to our mind is how to forgive our offenders.
Furthermore, the Holy BIBLE made us understand that we will be offended but that we should always forgive our offenders as our father in heaven would always forgive us. This the Lord's prayer is a testament to the fact that there's no way we would not be offended as humans.
Before now, I have always found it difficult to forgive those that offended me and this is because I'm this kind of person that would not count on you your mistakes, but when being pushed to the wall, then I get offended and by this it's always difficult for me to forgive my offenders as I used to carry along with me the pain of those bad things done to me by my offenders.
However, one thing I noticed in all these is that, whenever I live with the pain of the wrong done to me by others, mostly those that are close to me, I fall sick and live miserable. So, getting to know that it's through the pain of what they have done to me that's making me to live in such a manner, I decided to change my approach to dealing with people.
Now, the first thing I changed about people is my mindset. I am sure I put every human in their rightful place which is all about “human imperfections.” I made sure I see all humans as imperfect beings and whether to do to me whatever that's wrong, I would just overlook it and behave as if nothing has happened.
Ever since I started this kind of a lifestyle, things have really changed for as no one now offends me as ever before again. Although, there's still some that would always want to get me provoked, but even at that, I would not let it dwell in my heart so much before forgiving them.
In conclusion, forgiveness was once difficult for me to do, but when I realised it has no good effect on me, I made sure I changed my mindset about people and I'm happy to be living fine without harbouring the toxic pain of the wrong people have done to me in my mind.
This is my entry to week 222, episode 03 of the weekly featured contest in the Hive learners community.
