The Beauty of..

Forgiveness.Big word huh?Mother Teresa once said.'' to learn to love,you need to know how to to Forgive.''.isn't that true?if you are all mean and aggressive and malicious towards other people,how can you forgive should one do wrong unto you?let me go thru wad the pastor preacher about today ;

1. Real Forgiveness is UNCONDITIONAL.
to be forgiving,it has to be unconditional.when Jesus died on the cross,he asked God to forgive all the sins that Man has commited.the roman soldiers and the civilians were still unrepentant and did not seek forgiveness.still,Jesus asked for all Man,you and i,to be forgiven.that is the true way of Forgiving UNCONDITIONALLY.

2. Forgiveness DOES NOT minimise the seriousness of the offense.
Imagine this happening.there would not be a need for singapore to have Changi Prison and a Court of Law.criminals would just be arrested by police and then get forgiven.thus like our daily life.should one hurt us deeply, emotionally or physically,Forgive them still. Forgiving is only a way of recovery.with recovery can there be a full heal.Never joke about Forgiveness as well.you never know if a small insult can result in a catastrophic cause to another.

3. Forgiveness isn't resuming a relationship without change.
You have just been conned.u Forgive the conman.but do u still allow the conman to con you further?No right?haha. it is about one's genuine repentance.restitution and a rebuilding of trust.

You cannot embrace your future if you cannot let go of your past.it is difficult,yes,to let go of the past.especially if your past was filled with the love shared with your loved one.thus you are scared of what the future holds,making you ever more resilient on holding to the past.but how can you know what the future hold if you do not move on?God has a way.He always has.Believe in Him and you can gain confidence from Him that He can make your future a better one.

For me,i always believe that life is all about moving on.you fail,you pick yourself up and move on.even when you succeed, you don't wear ur pride on your sleeve and boast about it.you move on and learn to progress.Jerblinn said in our FIRST cell meeting '' unsuccessful people are always just trying to survive.Average people just think of maintainence.but Successful people only think of progress. '' another thing that successful people also think of is moving on.when they move on, they learn from their mistakes after failing.many have asked me'' why do i seem untroubled despite the bad results.why do i seem untroubled despite a bad regatta.why do i seem to be happy all the time and also be able to help others by letting them talk to you? '' this questions have often come to me.i do wallow in self-pity at times.but that is enough already.i feel that the key to staying happy is to move on and trust that God will make a better future ahead.however, there are certain things that cannot be let go.like letting go of a treasured relationship with that special one.that is the problem im still living thru and the only thing from the past i cannot let go.

God Bless.
Forgive and Forget.
Learn to Move on.
Stay Happy.
Embrace the future by Letting go of the Past.

:) Peace.
