]]> You are not too hurt to forgive. And you are not too weak to forgive!There is power available to let go the offense and the hurt, and to take back control over your thoughts and emotions.

While the act of forgiveness may demand so much from you, especially when the hurt is deep, it’s a worthy endeavour. Its rewards are richer than you may imagine.
And forgiveness is a daily possibility.

The Bible tells us that it’s possible for us to forgive AS Christ did.

“Father, FORGIVE THEM; for they don’t know what they are doing.” (Luke23:34)

That was Christ crying out to His Father for those who had mocked, rejected, despised, spat on His face, crushed His flesh, and now nail Him to a cross.
What a power!

That same power is at work in your life today. The Holy Spirit.
Forgiveness is a power you wield over offense. People may hurt you, betray you; they may take anything from you, but one thing they can’t take from you is this: the power to forgive them.
That’s real power right there! ?

Paul the apostle encourages us to exercise this power, when he said,
“Do not let yourself be overcome by evil, but overcome (master) evil with good.”
(Romans 12:21,AMP)

Paul is saying, don’t give anyone the permission to hurt you any more than they have already done. Rather, exercise your power to forgive, and break the stranglehold of that abuse, betrayal, rejection, disappointment over your mind. Let go the hurt. Let go the bitterness. Let go the resentment.

Forgiveness is a process. It may take just a moment or days or even months, but the first step is always the decision to forgive.
Make that decision today, dear. You’re too precious to be damaged by offenses. Ask the Holy Spirit to supply the strength and wisdom to carry through this process.

I have come to realise, through experience that, sometimes you have to forgive over and over again. Continue affirming your forgiveness, especially when the bitterness still lingers. You will know you have truly forgiven and are healing, when the hurt, bitterness, and the urge to revenge are gone.

Acknowledge the fact that God’s help is available for you.
You’re not alone.
God won’t let you down. You have only to trust Him to overcome the pains.

“No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.”
(1Corinthians 10:13,ESV)

You can forgive and experience peace again!

With much love,

Prince Iorungwa Najime

]]> Medical reports have shown that most human ailments are stress-related or stress-induced. And that unforgiveness, hurt, offense or bitterness create a lot of stress in the mind and body, which may trigger heart-related conditions, ulcers, high blood pressure, chest pain, headaches, etc
The reports also show that forgiveness decreases stress levels and promote health.
The Bible gives credence to these facts:
“A sound mind makes for a robust body, but runaway emotions corrode the bones.”
(Proverbs 14:30, MSG)
“A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.”
(Proverbs 17:22,NLT)

The answer to unforgiveness, hurt, bitterness and the pain of offense is, FORGIVENESS.

Forgiveness is a gift of mercy you extend to an undeserving person. When you choose to forgive, you’re making a conscious decision to let go of negative feelings of hurt, resentment, bitterness and anger against the person who has wronged you. It’s also a decision to free your mind from the prison of offense. To forgive is to choose healing – emotional and physical – and wholeness.
Someone describes unforgiveness as putting someone behind iron bars. And that someone turns out to be you. To forgive is to choose peace of mind over emotional unrest.
Unforgiveness is a costly choice you make. A choice to keep hurting over and again. A choice to have poisoned blood. A choice to be unhappy.
A choice to let someone else control your feelings.
That’s too costly a choice to make!
In real sense, forgiveness is not what you do for another. No!
It’s what you do for yourself. When you forgive, you’re doing yourself a huge favor. Those who let go offenses, love themselves!
Get that poison out of your mind and body, and receive your healing and wholeness!
It all starts with a decision A will to let go. If you are only willing, God will make available the strength to carry through. The decision is yours to make!
