Forgiveness

Peter came to Jesus and said to Him: “My Lord, if my brother is at fault with me, how many times should I forgive him? Up to seven times?” And Jesus said to him: “I do not say to you up to seven times, but to seventy times seven”
- Matthew 18: 21-23

Why is that we humans find it so difficult to forgive? Often times you hear people proudly saying “I forgive… but… I never forget!”.

Of course, unless you are senile or have a mental handicap, you cannot forget what happens to you, but you can let go and not dwell on the negativity of resentment, judgment or vengeance.

Forgiveness does not mean to condone wrong doings and inappropriate behavior. To forgive is to let go, cut the string, drop your rock – as no one can ever change the past and neither can our actions change anyone else. We can only change ourselves.

Of course we all have experienced some of the hurts that others have inflicted upon us. However, the reality is that each and every one of us will, sooner or later, make mistakes and say words that will hurt others. No one is perfect and it’s not always easy to be human!!

LOVE the root of all that is GOOD! Fear the root of all evil. Therefore where there is Love there cannot be fear; where there is fear there cannot be Love.

Have you noticed how fast and strongly people react to fear?

They tell negative reports, like the media does, and the negativity spreads like an epidemic with plenty of followers and spreaders of gloom. Tell the Truth and very few are willing to listen and much less believe. Read more »

Do You Believe?

“All things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive”

– Matthew 21:22

True prayer generates miracles. Whenever our brother Jesus was to perform any of His miracles He gave thanks beforehand, saying: “Thank you Father, for thou hearest me”, then the miracle was performed. Each and everyone of us is a miracle worker. You might not realize it, but with each and every feeling in our heart, each of us prays constantly. Living is praying!

Many of us go to Church, Temple or Shrine. We wear our best clothes in the presence of the Almighty just as we would in the presence of a king sitting on a high throne.

However we don’t realize that we actually are praying constantly, all day and all night long; with every thought we hold in our minds and hearts, we pray to God. We cannot NOT pray!

Truly, as long as anyone of us Read more »
