Forgiving someone means that we find the strength to go beyond ourselves to see those who have hurt us in a new way. That's never easy. Seeking forgiveness requires us to confront the past, and commit to changing our behavior. That's even harder. But, it is within our grasp, here are some tips that will help you to forgive those who have hurt you and ask forgiveness from those you have hurt……… Nothing's Unforgivable » don't let your fear of what you did, or rage about what was done to you, hold you back from forgiving or asking to be forgiven.  Never Alone » Know that you are never alone. From God's perspective, sincere effort to correct the past is enough. Honor the Past » Honor the past, but don't let yourself be imprisoned by it. Don't allow your fear of forgetting what was done to you keep you from forgiving those who did it. Love Over Logic >>>>Allow love to triumph over logic, and don’t let ego hold you hostage to the pain, instead open your heart  Forgiveness Isn't the End » Remember that doesn’t mean you’ll forget it is the beginning of the process, of letting go, so be gentle w/ yourself.  AND………The Joy of Forgiveness »Celebrate the moment of forgiveness in some way that rewards both the one seeking forgiveness and the one who grants it. A hug, a kiss, or a shared meal. Whatever it is, you have both accomplished a major thing, so make the most of it……..
