Gift of Forgiveness.

 Forgiveness is a gift to give and give Forgive. It is one of the main aspect for spiritual development. Forgiveness is not an instinct. It is not something which most people can do automatically. Forget is different from forgive. To forget is to remove it from our memory for a certain period. Forgiveness is not same as forgetting or excusing but it is an action or decision made by grace of God. If people will not forgive the world would be a very different place than it is now. Forgiveness helps us let go of the past and to see life in a new way.

Long back, a beautiful story came in magazine, Author is unknown. It's about two friends, who were walking through a desert. During the journey they had an argument, one friend slapped the other on the face. The one who got the slap wrote in the sand: TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME ON THE FACE. They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After he recovered from drowning, he wrote on a stone: TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE. The friend who slapped and saved his best friend asked him " After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?"The other friend replied "When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does good for us, we must engrave it in stone where wind can never erase".

God, has given us a gift. He, forgave our sins when, he was nailed on the cross. As, Jesus prayed to God the Father when he was crucified," Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." Jesus showed us the example of forgiveness. Thus in our lives we should  Ask God to give us the grace of forgiveness. As it says in Eph 4: 32 " And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you". God, wants us to forgive everyone. In bible Jesus, has mentioned in Matt 6 : 14 "For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also five you: " If you need pardon or forgiveness from God you should forgive those who have done wrong to you. There are times when you might have had painful events caused by others or instances when someone had done wrong to you, do not take revenge, instead forgive and once you forgive you are free in your mind and heart.

Forgiveness is a balm. It, is also related to the well being of mind, body, and soul. Studies, have shown that forgiveness has a major impact, on your health. If, you forgive your; cardiac system will function good, your nervous system will work excellent, your immunology functions will be improved, the hormonal functions will be balanced, moreover the mental state will be active, and more productive. You, will have an inner peace. Pray that Heavenly Father may renew your heart, with love and compassion, may He bring more spiritual insight and understanding to your brain. If you have the set up to forgive others you can have victory over anger, jealousy, malice, hatred, bitterness and all other evil conscience. Forgiveness will involve us to carry fruits of spirit: love, joy, peace, gentleness, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, patience, self control.
